Children ages 3.5-5 and 5-8 may join both half-day and full-day programs. Each month, we will explore a different topic where artists will ask questions and problem-solve through conducting science experiments, engineering, math and design processes. Artists will have access to textile art, woodworking, clay and more art mediums. Everyone's pace and learning process is unique and we are here to honour that. Those who are ready/ showing interest in a specific topic may focus on a project of their own choice. Full-day programs will spend half of the day creating at the studio, then head out to explore in nature. Come join us!
Our Community
Parent-teacher collaboration is at the heart of our School's program! While we may know very well how the children play and interact with others within our school walls, parents certainly know best about what goes on outside. Through collaboration, we cultivate a community that supports the children, our educators and parents as a whole.
As a parent in our preschool, there are many ways to be involved:
1. Parent Volunteer: Each family is encouraged to join the classroom at least once a year. You may do a special presentation about your family’s culture, read a story on your child’s birthday or join us on a field trip.
2. Parent Group: The parent group is organized by our parents for our parents. Some activities include paint night, parent social and parenting workshops led by industry experts.
3. Annual art show & fundraiser: There will be an art show & fundraiser every school year. These events are first opened to family and friends then available to the public.
Philanthropy Education
EPA School is actively participating in fundraisers throughout the year. At our preschool, we believe in nurturing compassionate hearts and instilling a sense of community responsibility from the earliest age. Our philanthropy program is an integral part of our community, modelling the values of kindness, empathy, and generosity to our children. Through every day experiences and discussions, we help our children see the needs of others and explore ways they can make a positive impact in other’s lives.
By engaging in acts of kindness and giving, whether through donations, art sale, or simply spreading joy, our children develop essential life skills while fostering a deeper connection to the world around them. Philanthropy education not only shapes compassionate individuals but also cultivates a brighter, more empathetic future for all.

Curriculum
Relationship as foundation for learning
Meaningful learning happens when children feel safe, loved and belonged In the world they live in. Therefore, in our Reggio environment grownups are viewed as an essential resource to the child's learning. Collaboration and connection between the families and teachers is the core to creating an empowering learning environment that is not limited to our School but also at home and anywhere in between.

Play is the highest form
of research
Our program is led by the children's curiosity, connection to the world around them, and the belief that they have the ability to develop their own potential. As children guide their own play through exploring with our extensive variety of materials, authentic learning takes place and new meanings are formed. Whether it’s something beautifully organized on the shelf or thoughtfully set up as a provocation, the opportunity to observe, test and problem solve with everyday materials is one of the most valuable skills we could give our children before expecting them to “succeed” in any traditional school settings.
Environment as
the third teacher
Our prepared environment is designed with the children- the intelligent, curious, capable and creative learners in mind. The layout of the environment including the materials are thoughtfully organized to promotes relationships, communication and collaboration. Most importantly, it’s meant to facilitate the children’s authentic exploration so that they’re always able to be as competent as they are instead of constantly relying on the adult’s assistence.
Your child is the
curriculum
Did you know children have 100 if not more ways to express, explore, and connect their thoughts and feelings? Instead of following a curriculum where learning is all planned for the children, our learners are provided many opportunities to work through their ideas, started by being in our environment. They are encouraged to depict their understanding of the world and work their ideas through various representations. They are encouraged to revisit their processes later and are always welcome to make changes as they create new understanding.
