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.

The NFB

A while back, we took our first trip to the National Film Board, where we watched a movie on trees, in which a family owned a tree farm and the difficulty they faced. We talked about how cutting down trees can be wasteful and things we can do to be more environmentally friendly, such as recycling, or making our own paper! We then headed over to Chapters to have a snack, and explore some books. All in all, it was great fun, and we will definitely be going back to the NFB.
Having fun with the adjustable speakers and chairs!

Paying very close attention to the movie.
