    Daily Lesson Plans

    Developing skills through play

    Garderie ET’s daily activities are geared toward helping your child develop all the skills necessary for toddlers and young school-age children.

    Our daily program typically starts at 9:30am with “Circle Time,” which is meant to develop listening and conversational skills, focusing on plans for the day, upcoming events/holidays, days of the week, outdoor weather, etc.

     

    Following circle time, each class will divide their morning between outdoor play (weather permitting) and daily lesson plans. Our outdoor play yard is equipped with a small jungle-gym and slide, balls, and large cars, all of which help develop gross-motor skills such as running, climbing, throwing, catching and balancing. Daily lesson plans include:


    - educational skills (counting, number/alphabet/colour/shape recognition,
      vocabulary development)
    - fine-motor skills (writing, scissor-use, water table/play-dough/kinetic
      sand play)
    - concentration skills (puzzles, memory games, story-telling)
    - creativity & imagination development (drawing, painting, colouring,
      singing, dancing, dress-up)

     

    Important social skills (sharing, problem-resolution, emotion regulation), hygiene skills (hand-washing, toilet training), and basic life skills (eating and dressing independently) are a constantly encouraged throughout our daily programs.

    Extra-curricular Activities

    Going above and beyond

    Once per week, children are invited to take part in an age-appropriate yoga class or “hip-hop” dance class (offered between September-June). These classes are the perfect opportunity for children to develop body-awareness through movement and guided exercise.

     

    Throughout the year, children also have access to our on-site library room. The library is equipped with a variety of books in both French and English, as well as a computer programmed with educational games. Library time is used to foster an interest in books and quiet reading, as well as to develop early computer skills.

    What some of our parents have to say

    My eldest daughter started at 18 months with Alla at ET daycare. I have to say it went well from the first day. ALL the teachers are very warm and caring and the admin staff is flexible and accommodating too!

    My youngest is also at ET. What I really like about it is that all educators know every child, so it is always easy to transition from one class to another. That was a big plus for me since I always wanted my children to look forward to going to the daycare and have stability there too.

    It's been 4 years that I know ET daycare and it will be the only daycare my girls will ever know! 

    - Celeste R.

    We love Garderie ET. There’s a great atmosphere, and all the teachers are kind, committed and caring about the children. Our son always comes back home with a smile, and we are grateful!

    - Eitan & Marina

    Wonderful daycare! I drop my children off with full confidence that they are being cared for as though I were with them. Educators treat them as though they were their own children. It takes a village to raise children and I am grateful that Garderie ET is part of my village.

    - Maria R.

    I feel so at ease bringing my daughter to daycare each morning knowing she’s with a great team! The educators are not only amazing teachers but are also passionate about working with children. I love seeing my daughter happy to go to daycare in the morning and to hear her talk about her day in the evening! Thank you so much for all that you do!
