Lily School Kids’ Corner is our bilingual day care center that welcomes all children ages 2 to 6 Wednesdays and during school breaks (Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer), whether registered at Lily School or not.
Kids’ Corner hours are from 8:30am to 6pm.
Kids’ Corner is not any other daycare, we offer a variety of workshops to keep the kids entertained and intellectually stimulated:
The children are supervised by native English and French speaking adults.
In this entirely bilingual environment, all their senses are awakened and our teachers are there to guide them with kindness. Through our various artistic workshops, children discover the power of learning through doing. Ranging from painting and pottery, to photography, music, and theatre, the children explore matter, texture, handling and creating. Colors, shapes, and contrasts are also starting points for experimentation for children and are enriching sensory discoveries.
Songs, nursery rhymes, hand games and stories are also part of how we engage children at Kids’ Corner.
Alongside all of the creating and experimenting, we often make visits to museums which are opportunities to discover works of art that they will have recreated or from which they will be inspired to make their own work later on.
Beyond the arts, children at Kid’s Corner are entirely immersed in both the French and English languages, practice easy sustainable actions (turning lights off, recycling, etc) and gain the opportunity to meet kids from schools other than Lily School, including French children from other schools.
Our teachers are adept at integrating the different ages, making the day fun and intellectually stimulated for everyone.
With a focus on the arts, our Thursday/Friday evenings use arts and crafts–visual and auditory (ie; music, songs, rhymes)–to immerse our children into the English language. With native English and French speakers throughout the classroom, the introduction to English is natural and not overwhelming.
During school breaks in the fall, winter, spring and over the summer, Lily School offers bilingual artistic workshops, museum visits, intergenerational exchanges, sustainable practices to keep kids engaged and constantly learning in a fun environment.
In addition to our focus on arts, we love giving children the opportunity to explore the sciences, and put experiments within their reach. Lasting no more than 45 minutes, which we’ve found is the perfect amount of time to keep children actively engaged, our workshops make scientific culture accessible. These workshops promote teamwork, patience, social cohesion, respecting boundaries, and more.
