PreSchool & PrePrimary (Ages 3-4)
Encouraging Discovery and Play
At Armbrae Academy, our early learning program provides a warm, nurturing foundation where our youngest Ospreys begin their educational journey. We cultivate a sense of wonder, exploration and belonging, laying the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning. Through this approach, children develop emergent literacy, expanded vocabulary, and foundational numeracy skills, building a strong framework for lifelong academic achievement.
Signature Program Features & Themes
Play-Based Inquiry & Foundational Literacy: Children explore foundational concepts in language, numeracy, and environmental awareness through structured play and guided exploration.
Early Specialist Instruction: Starting in Preschool and PrePrimary, students receive specialized instruction in Music, Physical Education, and French, expanding their cognitive boundaries early.
Nature-Based Learning: Utilizing our outdoor play spaces and urban nature settings, early learners develop environmental curiosity and gross motor confidence.
