Reading
Our reading program was designed to teach children to read, not only phonetically, but also working on the seven essential components of reading.
Our program provides students with the tools to build upon their vocabulary and literacy skills. Our Teachers follow the progress of each child in class, and our method is simple: letter by letter, playful and effective way to teach child to read.
Literacy is strongly encouraged at Sportsplex Daycare, as it is one of the most important skills a child requires to be successful at school, and in life. Research shows that learning to read at a young age is excellent for brain development and lifelong academic success.
Writing
The Writing program at Sportsplex Daycare has been developed exclusively for our schools. It introduces our students to all essential pre-writing and fine motor exercises that train the hand muscles to write, and develop hand-eye coordination, and introduces each child to lines, curves, letters and words. Writing is introduced every day with a combination of fine motor skills, games and activities, sensory experiences, drawing, and one-to-one Writing.
Math
Introducing Mathematics at an early age is proven to promote language and literacy skills. At Sportsplex Daycare, we place great emphasis on helping the child gain and apply reasoning skills, and apply mathematical concepts introduced in a practical way.
Mathematics is used not only during Math time but also throughout the day and is incorporated in many subjects, including Reading, Music and Science. Throughout the Math Program, children learn to work with, and quantify numbers, using them for addition, subtraction, division, and, in the higher classes, multiplication.
Science
The Science Program introduces our students to the scientific method, where they are presented with questions, hypotheses on the probabilities, taught to test their hypothesis and draw conclusions.
The students are also exposed to natural science, where they observe life through seed cycles, gardening, observation of insects, animals, and the human body. This program introduces the children to various subjects such as insects, pets, fish, the solar system and the seasons.
The Science curriculum is strongly guided by the children and follows a project-based approach. This program greatly nurtures our children’s creative thinking skills, leadership skills and reasoning abilities.
Culture Immersion
Culture Immersion is in the Sportsplex Daycare curriculum mainly to foster inclusion between children. It provides an opportunity for our students to learn about people in other parts of the world, and be introduced to different cultures in a fun and exciting way.
Exploring cultural differences and similarities allows children to appreciate their own culture and that of others.
Music
Learning and playing music at a young age strongly influences the learning of skills such as verbal communication, problem solving, and the senses.
The Music Program is taught with a wide variety of musical instruments that assist the children in learning how to creatively interpret the fundamentals of music such as notes, tempos and musical appreciation.
Exploring the Neighbourhood
- Exploring the neighborhood is one of the extra-curricular activities that Sportsplex Daycare students are used to.
- In the morning children go for a walk in the neighborhood while visiting a tot playground or the sports field for games. Often, our children will visit Dorothy Peacock Elementary school to play games.
- Each student will wear a fluorescent vest to ensure they are visible to the neighbourhood.
- In the afternoon students visit our private, custom built playground in a beautiful setting.
