Our Program Philosophy

A nursery school is a place where a child should want to be - safe, happy, involved and learning. Parents, students and teachers are constantly learning as they work together to find better ways to achieve these goals.

Pearson provides a balanced activity program to meet a young child's needs and interests:

• Large motor experiences: climber, balance beam, balls, hoops and outside playground, tricycles, sandbox, scooters.
• Fine motor skill development: puzzles, playdough, art activities(cutting, pasting, painting).
• Science table: aims at stimulating curiosity about the environment
• Math: counting games, matching shapes, number puzzles, circle time activities.
• Social/Emotional/Language Development: Second Step Program , Dramatic Play Centre
