The Innisfil Kids Pre-Primary Program is designed to develop advanced verbal skills, a high level of social and emotional self-awareness, and encourage our children to take the next academic step with confidence and enthusiasm.

With more intricate classroom materials to explore, more time for concentrated, focused work, and an emphasis on independence and cooperation. Our stimulating and engaging academic program helps to foster and promote the acquisition of new skills and greater independence. 

With a mastery-based curriculum, children are taken through a sensorial learning experience that helps set a solid foundational core in subjects like Reading, Writing, and Math. Their imaginations and innate curiosity are fuelled through a deeply engaging curriculum in the areas of Science, History, Geography, Art, Music, and French. S.T.E.M education is The Innisfil Kids Preschool program for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Your child will gain an understanding of how the world around them works, and prepare them for school. Lessons are given individually or in small groups, carefully targeted and tailored to the strengths and needs of each child, enabling them to reach their full potential while remaining deeply connected to the learning process.
