Curriculum

Our Curriculum & Learning Approach

A balanced, play-based wholistic curriculum designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, confidence, and lifelong learning across all areas of development.

S.T.E.M. Foundations for Curious Minds

Children explore science, technology, engineering, and early math through hands-on activities that encourage curiosity, problem-solving, creativity, and a love of discovery in everyday experiences.

Science Exploration

We strongly believe in having a rich and engaging science component as part of our preschool curriculum. Children are naturally curious and drawn to scientific exploration, using their imagination and creativity to test ideas, experiment, and carefully observe the world around them. Through hands-on activities and interactive demonstrations, children are encouraged to ask questions, make predictions, and develop their own ideas and understanding of scientific concepts.

 

To further enhance our science curriculum, we welcome monthly visits from specialists at Mad Science, who present exciting, age-appropriate experiments connected to our monthly learning themes. These experiences deepen curiosity, inspire discovery, and make science both meaningful and fun for young learners.

Robotics and more

Children are introduced to technology and design through hands-on activities such as robotics and more play. By building, creating, and problem-solving, they develop early engineering thinking, spatial awareness, and an understanding of how tools and technology help shape the world around them.

Architecture & Problem-Solving

Children explore engineering concepts through hands-on building, construction, and problem-solving activities. By designing, testing, and improving their ideas, they develop critical thinking, creativity, and resilience while learning how things are built and how challenges can be solved through teamwork and exploration.

Math & Logical Thinking

Children develop early math skills through hands-on activities that introduce numbers, counting, patterns, measurement, and problem-solving. Using everyday experiences such as building, cooking, and play, children strengthen logical thinking, confidence, and an understanding of basic math concepts in a natural and engaging way.

Literacy & Language Development

Building strong communication, early reading, writing, math language, and bilingual foundations through play-based learning and meaningful interactions.

Reading Readiness

Through books, storytelling, and interactive reading experiences, children develop a love for language and early literacy. Activities support comprehension, vocabulary growth, and an understanding of stories, sounds, and symbols in a fun and engaging way.

Early Writing & Expression

Children explore early writing skills through drawing, mark-making, fine motor activities, and creative expression. These experiences help strengthen hand control, letter awareness, and confidence in expressing ideas visually and verbally.

French Language Exposure

Our French program taught twice a week by a certified French teacher introduces children to another language. During pre-school years children’s brain resembles a sponge and it feeds on new knowledge and information. Learning an extra language at this age is both compelling and natural for children. Our French program emphasis is fun and practical and children practice learning new vocabulary through reception of words, songs and games.

Circle Time

The children join in movement games, finger plays, and listen to discussions and stories before planning for the day. Academics incorporated through the following: listening; reading comprehension; phonics/awareness of sounds (such as rhyming songs); counting and quantity (such as counting how many friends are here); biology (such as reading a story about frogs); and our community (such as learning to take turns and respect others in the group.

Creative Arts & Expression

Nurturing creativity, imagination, and self-expression through music, movement, drama, visual arts, and creative play.

Dance & Movement

Children explore movement and rhythm through guided dance and free movement activities. Dance supports physical coordination, body awareness, self-expression, and confidence while allowing children to respond creatively to music and emotions.

Music & Rhythm

Child Connect Daycare is proud to offer a dynamic music program in collaboration with Ava Music & Art Centre Ltd. Through our partnership, children have the opportunity to engage in enriching Orff and Kodaly classes, fostering creativity and musical development from a young age. Ava Music team are specialize in nurturing the creative spirits of young children through Orff and Kodaly classes. Since 1995, they’ve been the pioneers of this innovative methodology in Vancouver, providing a unique and enriching experience for children ages 1 to 7.

Creative Play

Creative play encourages children to use imagination, explore ideas, and express themselves freely. Through open-ended materials and pretend play, children develop creativity, problem-solving skills, and social-emotional understanding.

Visual Arts

Children express ideas and creativity through drawing, painting, crafting, and hands-on art projects. Visual arts activities support fine motor skills, creativity, focus, and an appreciation for artistic expression.

Mindfulness & Well-Being

Supporting emotional awareness, self-regulation, social responsibility, cultural understanding, and connection to nature in a caring learning environment.

Yoga & Mindful Movement

The earlier we instill a love for yoga in children the more they will benefit from it and continue to practice it later in life. For this reason, we practice yoga at least once a week as it is one of our favorite early learning activities. Yoga at Child Connect is taught in a very playful way, by a certified children yoga instructor, helping children become aware of their bodies and learn the importance of breath and how to use it in changing situations.

 

At Child Connect Early Learning Center we cater to each child’s needs. We understand that it is important for children to have a nap/rest after a busy day of gross motor activities and interactions with other children and the environment. Therefor we provide a peaceful atmosphere in a darkened room followed by serene calm music playing in the background. The staff will stay with the children in the nap room to help them fall asleep and monitor the room. We provide comfortable cots with fitted sheets for each child. We understand that not all children will require nap which depends on their developmental domain and age. The children that do not require nap will have an opportunity to work on quiet activities at the table or on their cots.

Outdoor & Nature Exploration

Our outdoor environment is designed to resemble nature and features natural playscapes, a river rock stream that children can enjoy the sound of, an organic garden and lot of room for running around. Weather permitting, all children, will spend from 30 minutes to three hours per day in daily outdoor play. It is necessary that children have freedom of movement, so it is requested that children be dressed accordingly. Shoes and socks are required. Children are encouraged to explore, and there may be times when they may become messy or rumpled. Parents should send two complete change of clothing that remain at the Centre. Parents must label all articles of belongings. Children will be outside unless the temperature is below 0 C or above 30 C, weather conditions permitting.

 

Child Connect instills in its students the importance of healthy eating. These healthy habits begin in our garden where children can plan variety of vegetable seeds (Weather Permitting), watch them grow, pick and prepare them to eat for snack or part of their lunch.

Citizenship & Social Responsibility

Children learn about kindness, respect, and responsibility through daily interactions and group experiences. These activities help children understand how to care for others, follow community values, and develop positive social behaviors.

Contribution & Responsibility

Through helping roles, shared routines, and teamwork, children learn the importance of contributing to their community. Activities such as clean-up and classroom responsibilities foster independence, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

Cultural Immersion & Awareness

Children are introduced to diverse cultures, traditions, and perspectives through stories, celebrations, music, and daily experiences. Cultural immersion encourages respect, inclusion, curiosity, and an appreciation for diversity from an early age.
