Coordinator Biography Alice Borman

The Early Childhood Summer Programme is offered for students ages 3-6. Our philosophy is that children learn through play. Learning will become more meaningful to children through active exploration and interaction with adults, teachers and children. Our experienced early childhood teachers and assistants have planned a variety of fun and engaging activities such as art, creative crafts, music, cooking, yoga, ball games, Kristi McEwen outdoor exploration, scavenger hunts, science experiments, math games, swimming and much more. The children will have an incredible summer experience exploring, growing and discovering.
