Get your child excited about learning with a custom preschool curriculum that is like no other at our Langley daycare
Finding quality child care in Langley may be an exhaustive process for some, and understandably so! As a parent, you want to find something that is safe, fun and educational enough to prepare them for grade school. We offer a balanced curriculum, offering children a unique balance between creative free play and structured learning times.
Our Langley daycare’s preschool curriculum is custom-designed to offer things that are interesting to a young child (phonics, music, math, outdoor time and more), while always maintaining a strong learning component at its foundation.
Academic exercises:
We use phonics to discover language learning topics. In math, Rainforest kids learn counting, matching and memorizing. In science, we engage with animal species, learn about the environment, and do fun, age-appropriate science experiments.
Music and movement:
Your child will learn songs about various educational topics, practise memorizing lyrics, sing along in time and tempo, and use their hand-eye coordination to clap rhythms.
Basic French immersion:
We teach children the basics of the French language to prep them for grade school.
Creative art and drama:
With paint, sprinkles, glue and tape, preschool-age kids can express themselves and their imaginations. During drama, we roleplay and engage in active storytelling with costumes, wands, hats and more.
Field trips:
We ensure children have exciting excursions that are both fun and educational. Whether it be a movie outing, museum, or nature walk, we incorporate pre- and post-trip activities to heighten their understanding of the experience.
Whether it’s practising appropriate public behaviour in a movie theatre, learning how to swim, or releasing their energy at an indoor fun zone, your child won’t be confined to four walls day in and day out!
Prepare for an easy transition to Blacklock Fine Arts Elementary with an integrated preschool.
Our local Langley preschool is nestled into a cute portable on the grounds of Blacklock Fine Arts Elementary School. This integration highlights just how important a preschool program is in being a stepping stone to grade school. Each day, your child will familiarize themselves more with the ongoings of an elementary school setting. Eventually, they can transition without feeling intimidated, disoriented, or overwhelmed.
Your child can enrol in our preschool program starting at 2 ½ years old and then simply continue on with before- and after-school care when they get to grade school. Our location is a big advantage for parents with older children who attend the elementary school — easy pick-ups and drop-offs in the same vicinity!
Next to Langley City Park, our Langley childcare centre takes full advantage of the expansive green space that’s home to Al Anderson Memorial Pool and Langley Community Music School.
What your child will experience in a day at our Langley daycare and childcare centre
As a Langley child care provider, we’ve created a space where your child will be led by licensed early childhood educators. Our team makes your child’s education their top priority every single day by being attentive, dynamic, and fun! Our pre-kindergarten program in Langley combines long-standing early education methods with more modern ‘structured play’ approaches.
To feed your child’s curiosity and energy, some of the hands-on activities your child will experience at our Langley daycare are:
- Learning about nature and animals: Children will discover a number of different species and their behaviours. They’ll enjoy learning that butterflies emerge from cocoons or that bees travel to pollinate. They might then mimic being curled in a cocoon or run around ‘flying’ during gross motor skills activities.
- Creative activities: Singing, dancing, acting, arts and crafts all instil confidence and fuel positive interactions with peers.
- Play time: Utilizing academic-focused games that require counting, building with their hands, and cooperating with others. Open-ended play is also encouraged.
- Snack time: Snack time at our daycare is a conscious opportunity to make healthy choices, share with others, and learn about where food comes from.
- Outdoor time: Our location is ideally situated next to a waterpark and outdoor pool (for swimming lessons). We also have a few excellent parks nearby, a fantastic playground, a library, creeks and ponds and a grass field with baseball diamonds.
