A Learning Environment
What a child retains in high school has a lot
to do with what he picks up when he is three. Top educators believe children
do their most important learning before the age of five. It is a time
for developing new relationships with the world and the people in it -
for exploring, becoming independent, and meeting a whole range of new
challenges. In addition to big hearts, we make sure our teachers possess
training in early childhood education. We also invest in computers and
a whole range of fun materials and activities that enhance every stage
of development.
Children learn differently from
adults. They need hands-on, real world experiences for true insight to
occur. At the Rocking Horse Day Care Centre & Kindergarten, children
learn by doing. Through play, your child's natural curiosity and love
of learning are actively engaged.
Your child has only one childhood. No one respects
this simple truth more than the staff at the Rocking Horse Day Care Centre
& Kindergarten.
French
Language Program
Learning a second language is
becoming increasingly important in our competitive global village. And
there's no better time to learn than during childhood! We believe that
in a bilingual country such as Canada, an early French education will
give your child an advantage and help your child develop a skill for learning
new languages.
We offer a French program, which combines learning
with play, games and music. Our French teachers are selected based on
their teaching background and their high command of the French Language.
By the time your child is ready to go to school, he or she will have valuable
language skills, which will help his or her life long learning voyage.
Music Program
Children love to sing and dance and we encourage them to sing along both in English and in French. Our music and dance teachers play the piano and teach the children to develop a sense of rhythm while having fun.
Learning the French and English words to songs is also a great way to improve memory and language skills. Parents always enjoy the creative special occasion performances at our centre!
Martial Arts and Sciences

We introduce Martial Arts & Sciences to the Junior / Senior Kindergarten and the school age children throughout the year.
This program focuses on teaching and developing fundamental martial arts skills as well as promoting and assisting in building the essential qualities in children such as self-confidence, teamwork, sportsmanship, mental & physical health and relationship skills. This program is instructed by a highly qualified trainer. There is no extra charge to parents for this program.
