Preschool
Preschool of Trottin-Trottinette offers to 3 and 4 year old children activities (*) in which they will learn socialization skills in a group, and to respect others at play and at work.
All the activities are available to the child. They will be done as a group or on an individual basis. A certain amount of flexibility must be allowed in order to make the experience a fulfilling, positive and enriching one for the child.
Our objective is to make sure that parents and children feel welcome and are well supported by our service. In order to realize these goals we wish to ensure everyone can:
- feel comfortable at preschool
- establish positive relationships with teachers based on trust
- have a positive first time experience at preschool
A gradual entry is suggested (especially for the 3 year old and daycare attendees) during the first week of class. This provides children with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with their new environment and classroom routines in smaller groups and over shorter periods of time. They need time to adjust to the class, new people, and for some, the whole new world of school.
Following is an example gradual entry schedule for a daycare attendee.
Day 1 – Child stays until snack time, around 10:00
Day 2 – Child stays until 11:45
Day 3 – Child stays for nap time until 2:00pm
Day 4 – Child stays entire day
