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

The Importance of Water

We have been talking with the kids about water a lot this month, in different capacities. Leah has done a phenomenal job teaching the kids about Garrison Creek. Both groups went to Christie Pits recently, and on our way, we viewed some of the sunken houses and talked about the change in landscape.


Last week, we talked about the importance of being kind to the creatures that live in the water. I spoke with the kids about over fishing and litter affecting sea creatures.


We have also been reading a number of stories about different sea creatures and animals that live in the water.


I think this is a great topic of discussion to have with the kids, there are so many things to discuss with them.
