Lutheran Early Learning Centre (LELC) Preschool registration for the 2024/2025 school year has begun and still has a few openings available.
The preschool program located in Venture Heights School is a play-based program for 3 and 4 year old children. The focus of their program is to provide children the opportunity to learn in an inclusive and welcoming environment through a combination of creative play times and structured “circle” times, which are based on daily, weekly, or monthly themes developed by observing the interests of the children.
“We run a Play and Exploration program, which means it is student-directed learning. We aim for open-ended play, not task oriented, so that we can focus on the learning process, not the end outcome. This allows children to discover and explore the things that are interesting to them, so that we can expand their knowledge and interests through that play,” said Lori Dyck, Director with Lutheran Early Learning Centers Inc.
Because this is a very inquisitive age, many questions are posed to make them think and work through problems that arise, and many questions are asked to aid in the learning process.
“By enabling them to learn through play and exploration, it builds self-confidence, collaboration skills, problem solving skills, social skills, and many others benefits. Our classroom environment provides children with a calm, stress-free, homey environment filled with open ended recourses allowing children to play, learn and challenge all their senses and think for themselves,” Dyck added.
LELC is looking to fill the three-day program; Monday, Wednesday, Friday morning class, (9:30-11:30am for $120/month), two-day program; Tuesday and Thursday morning class, (9:30am-11:30am class) for $95/month and the five day a week afternoon class Monday to Friday from 1-3pm for $215/month.
