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

Our Adventures at the Drop-In Centre

We are very fortunate to be able to frequent the drop-in centre not only as a warm place to eat lunch, but a GREAT place to do lots of fun activities,experiments and an opporunity for the kids to socialize with one another.

Fresh snow+food colouring = a great art experiment. The kids used droppers to release different amounts/concentrations of colour onto the snow.


Making snowflakes, and animal chains has become a favourite past time. It is also great for the kids to work on their dexterity and development in relation to their hand muscles by doing so! Also helps them improve on their cutting abilities, something they all seem to want to be more comfortable and confident with.








Here the kids are enjoying a healthy snack after completing a ton of activities! Time to re-fuel and then head outside for more fun!












The drop in centre is always a lot of fun, and gives the students the opporunity to explore different learning options in a unique space. Thanks for always welcomming us!
