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.

Spring & Summer Fun

We spent our last month together doing a lot of fun things:

We saw some amazing and interactive art at the Luminato Festival.

We continued caring for our plants at the Greenhouse.

We finally finished our Dancey Dance Foor Song! By the band called, "Awesome Egg Trees".

We traced our bodies and turned ourselves into superheros.


We cut our Spring Mural up and turned them into Spring Power scrapbooks!

We had one more fire at Dufferin Grove Park:

We baked some delicious breads:

And enjoyed the wonderful things that spring brings:
