Big Steps Little Feet is designed for children who will be entering kindergarten and have had minimal preschool experience or are a new student registered for preschool for the 25-26 school year. This program introduces young learners to a classroom setting and prepares them for their transition into school. Children will build their learning foundation through play and hands-on activities. The mixed age group provides opportunities for children to mentor and build peer relations and enhance communication skills. Activities provided support school readiness skills and will include individualized & group play, arts & crafts, games, stories, songs, and more! In addition, the program can help with the transition of separation from a parent/caregiver as students will attend class independently. Parent/caregivers are required to stay on site at all times.
