THE WORLD FROM A CHILDS PERSPECTIVE
Trinity Playschool uses a child-centred, socially conscious pedagogy to engage young children in social and artistic thought and action. Using what the city has to offer, we strive to cultivate students that are empowered and are equipped with the knowledge to be socially and environmentally responsible citizens while they develop into explorers of their urban landscape.


THE CITY AS OUR CLASSROOM
A valuable aspect of the Trinity Playschool program is to empower children as navigators of their city. We journey on regular excursions, by foot and by public transportation, to art galleries, concerts, museums and cultural events, as well as markets, parks and city landmarks.


WE KNOW ITS TAKES A VILLAGE
Our Playschool runs on a model that links a range of artists together to engage and inspire children. We like to bring in different perspectives and actively pursue a diverse teaching staff. As such, professional educators and artists trade chalkboards for personal anecdotes and textbooks for real life experiences. Together, they create an atmosphere that is at once intellectually stimulating and deeply personalized.

The kids brought so much joy to Kay and I this past week. Look at how much fun they are having making leaf angels! And Look at the funny mask they found on their trip to Honest Ed's!

What a beautifully imaginative week we had! It was filled with puppet making, puppet shows (the kids did such a good job developing their puppets characters), a neighbourhood history walk and some music lessons with Kay. It is such a pleasure working with all your kids!

Hey Friends, We had a blast this week. Our indoor rainy day was spent at the Museum of contemporary Canadian Art where the kids got to interact with many different exhibits. The highlight of the week though was going to the textile museum. Our workshop leader taught the kids how to make fabric on a loom as well as how to spin wool into yarn. Just like Rumpelstiltskin!!

Hello Parents I'm sorry for the delay but the holiday weekend was one filled with traveling and there was an extra damper of being sans internet in Montreal.

We had an amazingly packed week.

Our group had an opportunity to visit the Ontario legislature and take pictures of some of the historic monuments/jungle gyms that are present in Queens park. (very fun indeed).

Our chance to be Bellwoods Park Superheroes was realized by cleaning up some of the garbage in the park while on our Nature Walk.

All in all a very fun week indeed.
