Our Program Statement

Treasure Garden Childcare Center programs are based on the “Early Learning for Every Child Today” (ELECT) framework which involves principles that reflect the development of children's social, emotional, cognitive, communication/literacy, and physical skills. TGC practices Emergent curriculum with the philosophy focused on meaningful learning through play using the interests of the child and expanding their horizons.  

This approach to learning is detailed in the document provided by the Ministry of Education titled "How Does Learning Happen?" Ontario's Pedagogy for the Early Years (2014).  This philosophy is used as a foundation within our program to foster a sense of belonging, well-being, expression, and engagement for all children here at TGC.

"How Does Learning Happen?" provides a way to think about the ELECT principles and how they work together.

Toddler

(18 months to 30 months)

Building on a routine of learning!

Our Toddler Program combines exceptional care with purposeful learning in a warm and nurturing environment. At this critical stage of development, our educators prioritize building strong, trusting relationships to provide toddlers with a sense of security and belonging. We support each child's unique needs while encouraging independence, communication, and social interaction.

 

The play-based curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to balance care with stimulating activities, including sensory exploration, creative arts, and music, which spark curiosity and joy. Gross and fine motor skills are developed through hands-on experiences and outdoor play, while routines like meal times and rest periods are approached with the utmost attention to comfort and well-being. Our program reflects a deep commitment to creating a safe, loving space where toddlers can thrive emotionally, socially, and developmentally.

Preschool

(30 months to 5 years old)

Nurturing minds through play!

Our educators focus on an enhanced curriculum that caters to each child's abilities while providing mental and physical stimulation through play. They strive to introduce and scaffold essential skills in basic arithmetic, science, reading, writing, and geography, fostering a well-rounded and age appropriate learning experience. We develop fine motor skills and begin  letter, number, and word recognition, taught through engaging songs and musical instruments.

 

This care extends outdoors, where children explore nature through planting, growth activities, and nature walks, fostering curiosity and a connection to the world around them. By combining academic enrichment with compassionate care, our programs ensure children feel valued, supported, and excited to learn as they prepare for kindergarten.

Spaces are filled in all of our programs with a waitlist at this time.
