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.

King Tut Exhibit & Tall Tales

It was a rainy day so we went to the AGO to see the King Tut exhibit - - - people 5 years old and younger are free! It was interesting to see all the ancient artifacts and statues. One of the children told us that he could read 'Egyptian' and translated all the hieroglyphics for us. On the cat's tomb: This cat was born from 15 mothers. It lived in the palace. One day a bird climbed on its back. Thinking it was wood, it pecked the cat and it bled. That is how the cat died.
