The mission of the Trinity Playschool is to encourage, inspire, and educate our students. Utilizing a child-centred approach to education, the teachers at Trinity Playschool weave in a curriculum that is creative-arts based, socially, culturally, and environmentally aware. Our students explore, learn and have fun as we use the city as our classroom. We promote and guide our students to care, understand, and appreciate others and all that is around them through mutual respect.
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.
