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

Clay and Paper Theatre

Today, we went to Dufferin Grove Park and had a great time at the Clay and Paper Theatre. We went with the Twirly Birds, and we were supposed to meet the Cycling Giants later on. But as the skies got darker, we had to leave a bit earlier than expected. However, we did get to see and contribute to some great pieces of art. On Saturday is the Night of Dread celebration at the park, and we got a first hand look at some of the neat pieces that will be seen that day. We also got to paint some of the pieces that will be at the festival too. If you have time on Satuday evening, it is something you should try to check out. You can visit their blog for more details.


Walking through the park, and settling in for snack time. We love eating outdoors with our friends.


Inside the studio, we had some giant crows heads to paint. Inside of the studio, we were surrounded by giant pieces that will be on display come Saturday. We also had the company of some adults who were working on some other pieces, sewing and painting. We took turns sharing the paint brushes and crows heads. They did a fantastic job!


We had a few minutes to play the in the playgroup and discover some new sights.
All in all, a great trip. Thanks to the folks at the Clay and Paper Theatre for their hospitality.
