Our Teaching Philosophy

More than any specific skills, the most important qualities that Nottinghill Co-operative Preschool strives to give our preschool children are:

  • Motivation, and
  • Confidence.

Ensuring that our children feel good about themselves in the preschool environment — that is the most important groundwork that can be laid for a lifetime of learning!paintingboy

The Philosophy of Play
Based on research and years of practice, our Early Childhood Educators believe that for young children, learning must be directly relevant to their lives. Play is meaningful because it actively involves the child. Our teachers have a favourite quote on their belief in play in the realm of learning.

“Tell me and I’ll forget
Show me, I might remember
Involve me and I’ll understand”
