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

Encaustic Paintings at Leah's Studio





(Updated post: now with pictures!)
Last week, both groups ventured to Leah's studio to do some encaustic work with her. Unforunately my camera was dead, but I am sure you have all seen by now the AMAZING creations the kids have created! I love that all of their pictures look so different. They all used different tools, techniques and ideas of inspiration to create their pieces. After they were done and during snack, the kids presented their pieces to one another. Leah and I were so proud of the way the kids encouraged each other and said positive things about the work their peers did. The appreciation they display towards one another is genuine and amazing!
