Curriculum
Curriculum and assessment is based on best knowledge of theory and research
about how children develop and learn with attention given to each individual
child's needs and interests.
Gibraltar Point Day
Nursery is an activity based centre our program emphasizes at all times
the development of children's;
• physical
• social
• emotional
• and cognitive growth
Full advantage is taken of our outdoor setting. Monthly theme related
activities are a part of our everyday experience. Children are encouraged
to participate actively in a variety of hands-on activities including;
gross motor, fine motor, cognitive toys, sensory, cooking art, dramatic
play, books, music and movement. The children are free to choose what
interests them. There is an emphisis on language developmenbt and socialization
in all areas of the program.
Working
together
Collaboration between the nursery teachers, kindergarten teachers,
principal and parenting centre is well established. Joint professional
development opportunities, regular meetings, and frequent informal
conversation are ongoing. Sharing ideas and resources is extremely
helpful in establishing a smooth transition and an intergrated learning
environment.

snacks in the morning and afternoon along with a hot lunch. We are
catered through the Island School Cafeteria and adhere to the Canadian
Food Guid. Special considerations are made for children with allergies
and food restrictions.
