“There are no words to describe the education and the exemplary care that my children have received spending full-day kindergarten at Faith. The low ratio of teachers to children and the one-on-one teaching was worth each and every penny. My wife and I chose to have our children remain at the centre through to grade 1 before going into the French Immersion school. Academically they were well ahead of their peers which included the French language as well. This is the best program I have had the first-hand experience with for both my children and highly recommend it for anyone looking for that special place for your child to learn and be loved.” C. Barddon
The kindergarten program at Faith Infant & Early Education Centre is exactly that . . . a kindergarten program.
We offer this full-time program to our families who do not want their child to leave the centre to attend an outside school. The children in our program have the privilege of a very small teacher to child ratio of 1:10. This allows for more individual attention than they would receive at an outside school while learning an advanced skill set.
Our curriculum, is a Christian, play-based, learning program.
This program focuses on the knowledge that children learn through play and the teachers use this play to help the child to learn. Throughout the day the teachers work with the children on a number of skill sets: letter recognition & sounds, consonants & vowels, blends, reading, number recognition, counting, matching, information retention and many others.
With the small ratio being to our benefit, you will often find one teacher spending time one-on-one with one child or a small group working on their development. This program also allows our families the flexibility to utilize the Centre's hours while having their child in a full-day kindergarten program.
During both the morning and afternoon, the teachers incorporate the Christian component into their regular program as well as French and Music on a daily basis. This is evident in their music and movement activities, stories and craft projects. The children truly learn how much fun kindergarten can be when they are permitted to learn through a variety of avenues. A well-balanced program provides each child with the cognitive, social, emotional, language, creative and spiritual needs of their whole development.
