Discovery Preschool is a parent co-operative offering a nurturing, stimulating environment that is Reggio and project inspired.
With the teacher in the role of researcher, the children contribute to and negotiate the curriculum in partnership. The daily schedule provides time for interactive play in a variety of interesting centres, gathering time, snack and group activities (e.g. yoga, drama, art, drumming). The students display and revisit their learning through photos, artwork and an artifact gallery.
Family and community play a crucial role in supporting the children’s inquiry and learning. Parents volunteer in the classroom on a rotational basis and each family assumes a job that contributes to the running of the program. To learn more about parent volunteering you can review our parent job handbook (PDF).
Please read our December 2011 and January 2012 newsletters to learn more about how we engage children.
Registration Day, February 9 at 1pm
Information on parent jobs: As a parent co-op, parent jobs represent an important contribution made by each family and are also a key element in the preschool’s success. On registration day, our parent volunteers will be able to assist you in choosing an available parent job. In advance of registration day, you may want to review our Parent Job Handbook (PDF).
