Maria Montessori believed that excessive, long-term praise can inhibit children from gaining independence because they rely heavily on the praise of those in positions of authority. As an alternative, encouragement can be empowering.

Welcome Spring!

Our Under 2 program explored different cultural experiences in March that celebrate the arrival of Spring. The children participated in activities such as painting with flowers, planting seeds, transplanting spring flowers into flower pots and exploring sensory activities that incorporate colours and flowers.

Yoga Class

The children take part in a weekly yoga class with Cheeba. In this picture, the children are working together to form a flower with their bodies! Yoga is an ancient form of exercise and meditation that involves slow movements and deep breathing. It helps the children become aware of and gain control of their bodies, aids in relaxation, balance, a sense of calmness, and the development of self-discipline.
