The Junior Champions LIS Preschool provides children with a play-based or emergent curriculum, which is child-centred and teacher framed. Our educators develop large and small group instruction as well as learning centres, based on observed student abilities, skills and interests. Age-appropriate instruction, activities, and/or centres will be provided to children daily in: Quran, Arabic, Islamic Practices, Foundational Literacy and Numeracy, and Outdoor Learning. A strong focus is put on developing children’s self-regulation and growing independence within a caring and nurturing environment that considers children’s social, emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual well being.
