The Preschool Canada Curriculum
At Preschool Canada, we embrace an Emergent Curriculum at all of our campuses across Ontario.
Emergent Curriculum is a philosophy of educating and a thorough way of planning out lessons and learning that is responsive to each child’s interests and progress; making it much more meaningful and tailored to each student.

One of the benefits of Emergent Curriculum is that it can be applied to any age level. We are passionate about how it prioritizes:
-
active participation
-
relationship building
-
flexible and adaptable teaching methods
-
curiosity
-
play-based learning
-
Transparent reporting and communication with parents
Emergent Curriculum
Def’n:
based on the premise that children are most successful at learning when curriculum experiences account for their interests, strengths, needs, and lived realities.
Our Approach
At Preschool Canada, we pride ourselves on creating a learning space that encourages children to truly engage in whatever it is they are doing. Exploration and participation are not quiet; at times our rooms will be noisy and messy in a purposeful and respectful way, while at other times, they are quiet and reflective. The sounds of materials being used, shouts of joy or surprise and the murmur of adults working with and encouraging our children; this is what you can expect on a visit to Preschool Canada.
Ministry Compliance
and Pedagogy
We help our children explore and grow in all areas of learning and life. At Preschool Canada we follow all recommendations and requirements consistent with the Ontario Ministry of Education’s policies and pedagogy. The following Ministry documents are a key part of our curriculum and guide our curriculum:
