Program Overview

  • An Educational Program
    with a Complete Curriculum

    At Bonne Aventure Preschool, our curriculum is based on Accueillir la petite enfance,
    an educational program developed by the Ministère de la Famille et des Aînés.

    The 4 Basic Principles of Our Program

  • Our preschool offers a complete curriculum including monthly themes, organized daily schedules, lesson plans and activities intended to guide learning objectives throughout the year. Our experienced educators have the flexibility and autonomy necessary to recognize the interests of their group and adapt activities based on children’s preferences and level of development.

    Through our bilingual program, educators introduce children to learning opportunities in English and in French. Children are encouraged to practice their second language through daily activities and games, in an effort to make this learning fun and practical.

    To complete the curriculum, our child-centered approach features programs for infants, toddlers and preschool-aged children. It aims to allow children to make choices and connections among ideas promoting communication. It gives children the freedom to think, explore, experience, question, and ultimately search for answers.

    Our approach allows teachers to observe how play develops as opposed to directing play, ultimately encouraging children to become more creative and enhancing communication skills with one another.

  • The 6 Dimensions of Children's Global Development

    There are essentially 6 major dimensions of early childhood development that are interconnected and steadily progress as children grow up:
    • 1. Physical

      There are 2 aspects of children’s physical development: gross and fine motor skills. First, gross motor skills (e.g. crawling, walking, etc) require children to use large groups of muscles. Second, fine motor skills (e.g. cutting with scissors, using utensils, etc) involve more refined coordination of small muscle groups, (like those in our hands and fingers).

    • 2. Language

      Experience with written and oral language provides children with the tools to interact with others. It helps them express their needs, ask questions, and improve their pronounciation and vocabulary. Advances in language development also help children present their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, which all contribute to their understanding.

    • 3. Cognitive

      A stimulating environment allows children to develop their senses, acquire new knowledge, and further develop their thinking, reasoning, and creative capacities.

    • 4. Artistic

      For children in early development, the emergence of an awareness of beauty in the world is achieved through creation, exploration, and discovery.

    • 5. Social

      Preschool offers children the opportunity to communicate with others, and acquire important social skills.

    • 6. Emotional

      Preschool offers children the opportunity to express and regulate their emotions, and empathize with others.
