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

Twirly Birds

The Twirly Birds, which is the name of April and Lorna's group are great friends of ours. I think the multitude of play mate options are good for all of the kids, and it allows them to interact and explore with different friends. Also, I think it is great when we part ways and meet up later on and discuss all the fun things that each particular group did that day. Here are some photos of the kids taking pictures of each other, and enjoying their time in the play ground.
Fun on the swings.
Here is the 'kitchen' they use in the playground, whipping up some delicious sand cakes to eat.

Say 'cheese!' I love this picture, taken by one of the students. So much fun.

We also love going on outings/field trips with the Twirly Birds. We have great fun together, and I love watching the kids teach and learn from one another.
