Infant Toddler Program

The Lynx (Birth-3) Program has 2 classrooms. The Beavers and the Raccoons. Each classroom operates under a Primary Care Model. This means your child will have a specific Educator (or two) assigned to them for the duration of their time in their classroom. These educators will be responsible for building strong relationships with you and your child. They will ensure your child's daily needs are met and information regarding their growth, development and play is shared with you on a regular basis. This model of Primary Care fosters a sense of community and builds relationships between children, parents and Educators. Through this system the children are able to build a healthy attachment to their Educators, which establishes a strong sense of well-being and belonging while they are in our care.

The children in the Lynx Classroom enjoy a wide variety of invitations to play, ranging from sensory, music & dance, gardening, art, loose parts and much more. We enjoy much of our day together outdoors, rain or shine. We employ a philosophy of free movement; therefore, you will not see restraints such as high-chairs being used in our classroom. We view the children as competent, capable co-constructors of their learning. Infants are fed when hungry and are helped with their nap whenever they need a rest. All 'care routines' for infants are viewed as a time for connection and attachment building.
