Registration Night will take place at Baturyn Community hall 10505 172 Ave on Thursday, February 15, 2024. Please click on registration Form for all information. On registration night EVERYONE must have paper copies printed and filled out along with all REQUIREMENTS.
We base our program around theme-based play. Students will be introduced to the joys of learning by taking part in fun interactive circle times, table activities including creative crafts, fine motor activities, counting, pre printing, games, music, and daily physical activities! We will encourage the development of the following skills:
- Cooperation, sharing, and taking turns
- Fine motor skills: cutting, tracing, drawing/coloring and painting
- Sensory play: sensory tables, 5 senses learning, hands on science fun
- Large motor skills: hopping, skipping, jumping, catching, throwing, climbing, swinging indoors and outdoors
- Literacy: love of books and identifying sounds (same and different)
- Numeracy: sorting, classifying, patterning and counting
Baturyn Community Playschool is also happy to accept students that are connected with GRIT, Community Options or other specialized service program providers. We are committed to working alongside those programs to help students meet their individual goals and milestones.
