I'm in awe when Playschool children demonstrate what they have learned through play!
The Kindergarten had tons of fun during their first week at school. They created, listened, and went to the creek!!!
At Olivet, we nurture learning through a child’s senses and exploration of their environment. For intellectual and creative development, interaction with the outdoors is a natural extension of the learning that happens in the classroom. Recently, this philosophy was reinforced with our preschool teachers Ms. Williams and Ms. Todd through a conference offered at The Toronto Waldorf School and after reading the recommended book, Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv.
Such excitement! Our class thoroughly enjoyed walking through the hydro field’s meadow, stopping to observe and discuss a variety of insects and plant life along the way. We stopped at Mimico Creek (near Echo Valley)to watch the ducks, perfect our aim throwing stones into the creek and explore the banks of the creek for more crawling and flying creatures.
