Welcome to Woodvale Playschool.
At Woodvale Playschool, play is recognized and valued as an essential part of a child’s developing years. Our teachers, therefore, plan an exciting and stimulating play-based learning program as unique as each enrolled child. Our goal is to offer your child and family a wonderful early childhood experience in a fun and nurturing environment.
Play-based learning is an approach where children develop through interactions with their environment and the people in it. It includes open-ended programming which is child directed and teacher led. This allows every child to develop to their full potential by exploration, risk taking and experimenting.
Based on our belief that children are unique, creative and capable individuals, we provide a stimulating, warm, nurturing, and safe early childhood experience. Our program offers children the freedom to choose from a variety of experiences through play. Our program offers developmentally appropriate activities in structured and unstructured activities for each of the age group settings.
Woodvale Playschool is a fully licensed parent co-operative playschool. It is run by its members, the parents, who are involved in all aspects of the school’s operation. Your involvement can be anything from a position on our board, to assisting with materials preparation, to supervising on a field trip and more.
