About Us
We value art as open-ended learning with each child, a process of self-expression that is often unguided, yet powerfully motivating and self-fulfilling for children.
Art for our preschoolers is creative, unique, and original.
Mrs. Toni Vigna, Head Teacher

We all benefit from her positive relationships with both parents and children.
Our teacher is approachable, sincere, and thoughtful, and makes parents feel comfortable when asking questions about their child, the program, or the school. A mother of three herself - and with her 11 years of teaching experience - she has much to share.
Mrs. Toni's philosophy
is
that
preschool-aged children learn best through play. The
classroom is set up with various learning centres where each child learns to think logically by creating,
experimenting and investigating.
Her curriculum
is
based
on the individual child's interests. She believes that
choosing projects which interest the children will excite them, helping to improve their
motivation for learning and increasing comprehension.
As well, students are taught to problem solve, to negotiate, and to
respect each other.
When children are offered choices, Mrs. Toni believes they learn to negotiate, as well as problem solve, which ultimately helps children to make friends more easily and to manage themselves in social situations.
Our Facilities
We are located inside of Baker Drive Elementary School, on the south side of the building just north of the staff parking lot. We work in partnership with the school, and thus are granted access to their gymnasium every day, as well as the outdoor playgrounds.
Our preschool room features a variety of play areas:
