Our Mission

THE WORLD FROM A CHILDS PERSPECTIVE
Trinity Playschool uses a child-centred, socially conscious pedagogy to engage young children in social and artistic thought and action. Using what the city has to offer, we strive to cultivate students that are empowered and are equipped with the knowledge to be socially and environmentally responsible citizens while they develop into explorers of their urban landscape.


THE CITY AS OUR CLASSROOM
A valuable aspect of the Trinity Playschool program is to empower children as navigators of their city. We journey on regular excursions, by foot and by public transportation, to art galleries, concerts, museums and cultural events, as well as markets, parks and city landmarks.


WE KNOW ITS TAKES A VILLAGE
Our Playschool runs on a model that links a range of artists together to engage and inspire children. We like to bring in different perspectives and actively pursue a diverse teaching staff. As such, professional educators and artists trade chalkboards for personal anecdotes and textbooks for real life experiences. Together, they create an atmosphere that is at once intellectually stimulating and deeply personalized.

November Themes: Food Production, Trees & Autumn Harvest

Drama and Dance Fun







The drama and dance lessons that Lorna comes up with are AMAZING. Her methods are unique and engage all of the children. Theybecome immersed in role play without even noticing it! Above are some pictures of a game the kids really are enthusiastic about. In this particular game, one of the kids is selected to be the 'host' of a party for example. And another child is selected to be a trickster figure, making all of the party guests sick, in a discreet way
of course. They then have to figure out who is the trickster. Its really fun to watch the kids be engaged and really have fun with these types of games!
