Our Program for Toddlers

Discovering and exploring the world around them are the toddler's main interest. At ARC-EN-CIEL, we encourage their sense of discovery by establishing a safe colorful environment and program that includes a variety of materials and educational toys to help them develop naturally, individually, and happily.

At this age, toddlers start expressing their thoughts and building their character. Reading, singing, dancing, water table play, climbing, cooking are experiences that help the toddlers in their language skills and their social life. They are also developing a sense of independence that is important in fostering their social development. For that purpose, we introduce self-directed activities that include drawing, painting, and individual play to help them develop their creativity.

Plenty of fun is the basis of teaching the toddlers. Their development will be based on their own curiosity and readiness. To help you follow this important stage in your children's life, which is crossing the bridge to preschool, we provide you with a daily report which includes information about your child's activities, care and progress.

Our Program for Preschoolers

Preschoolers thrive on new experiences. To stimulate their developmental needs, our program offers a variety of activities to help them build their self-confidence, self-esteem, and promote their physical, emotional, intellectual, and social growth.

To further expand their language skills, they participate every day in a reading and storytelling session. We also include activities such as music, singing and art, to enhance their creative learning. They are also involved in matching colors, balancing and counting blocks, and recognizing letters while building a bridge to improve their intellectual skills. Working together to build a neighborhood in a sandbox, taking turns, sharing, will help them improve their social.

Our caregivers will play a major role in the children's development when you are away. They will help your children explore their interests; develop their talents and to behave with others. We reassure you that the children will not be overwhelmed. They are learning through fun play based on their own readiness and curiosity.
