WE STRIVE TO SEE THE WORLD FROM A KIDS-EYE-VIEW
Bellwoods 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 empower our students with the knowledge to be socially and environmentally responsible citizens while they develop into explorers of their urban landscape.

WE THINK OF THE CITY AS OUR CLASSROOM
A valuable aspect of the Bellwoods 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, 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.

Art and Music!

Over the past couple of weeks we have been going to Leah's studio to do some printmaking!



Another artist in Leah's studio, Sydney, showed us the animations he made and the dolls he used to make them! We all got a wonderful lesson in how animation works and we even got a chance to make our own little animation.




Music with Kat! The Magic Granola Bar Monkeys wrote a stellar song with Kat about a world where pirates, squirrels, fairies, dinosaurs and aliens are all struggling to get along.
