JK/SK Program

Children are hungry to learn and to be given responsibilities that make them see and feel that they are indeed growing.

What Parents say..

Pre-School: The Owls Group

This program uses a curriculum specifically designed for pre-school children whereby early enjoyable, age-appropriate academics and “life lessons” are blended together within a framework of natural values and behavioural skills.  At this age, children are ready to increase their awareness network and ability to do. This is a time when children can work with invaluable seeds that will serve them well into their futures. As the children grow, so can the skills, social behaviours and values grow with them. These days are spent in the wonder and awe of nature, in discovery, in stories to help them get on better, in creative arts, dance and music.

Junior Kindergarten: The Larks Group

At the B.E.N., the junior kindergarten students are busy experiencing a live and active education, in guided pursuit of qualities that enhance this life education and build a solid platform for learning.  Some of these qualities and skills include patience, helpfulness, manners and even learning to tell jokes!

The day is an adventure… bright and full with a gentle continuum of activities which relate and interconnect, bringing to life all the mysteries and wonders available to them. They experience interactive math lessons while baking, music and dance, learning a second language, science lessons in the park, nature walks and field trips, quiet play and teamwork. Learning becomes fun, just as it should be!

Senior Kindergarten: The Swallows Group

Building upon skills already developed our senior kindergarten students deepen their experiences of the world around them. They begin to put to use the vast amount of abilities and information they have gathered thus far, and burst into a busy year of doing!

We embark into geography, rhythm, identity, increase our coordination, and discover ways we can contribute to our community.  This year we actively work to open the children up to the seeds of new learning as they continue on their journey of education and life.
