Nurturing the
multiple intelligences of your child...
Leap
n’ Learn Preschools, Day Care, and Out of School Care are privately owned and operated.
Our Team has a wealth of experience in teaching, curriculum planning and childcare. Their
degrees in Education, Child and Youth Studies & Education and Curriculum Programming,
as well as Courses in the FLIGHT, Alberta's Early Learning and Care Framework, all lend to creating
programs uniquely geared for engaging, educating and nurturing both preschool
age children and the children in the out of school care programs.
Our Programs
Leap
n' Learn Programs are located in the communities Chaparral/Walden in Southeast Calgary and the community of
Silverado in the Southwest of Calgary. We specialize in the multiple
intelligences of children. Our mission is to provide quality preschool/out of
school care to the communities of South Calgary.
Our Philosophy
Preschool The philosophy behind the theory of Multiple Intelligences is as follows: Children are active participants in the growth of their linguistic, social, emotional, conceptual and motor competence. However, the rate at which a child learns and becomes a confident learner varies and is dependent upon how he or she processes the information they are given and to what extent the child is engaged in the process. Discovering a child's optimal intelligences will ultimately increase the rate of learning and increases more so as we strive to further develop the weaker of the eight multiple intelligences innate within all children. Children are intelligent in these eight different ways in varying degrees. For example, some children learn better by "doing", some by "seeing" and still others learn best by "listening". Staff act as facilitators for learning. There is a balance between academics, play and exploration that prepare the children for the kindergarten classroom. Children learn best through active exploration of their environment. Our preschool environment includes all 8 multiple intelligences. Our learning centers are based upon these intelligences: Linguistic, Logical-Mathematical, Visual-Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Musical, Bodily Kinaesthetic and Naturalist. By helping each child become aware of their intelligences, we open the door to many successful encounters and opportunities of learning in their future. Learning should be fun and children should feel confident no matter what age they are. Leap n' Learn provides a welcoming, safe and caring atmosphere, thus, enabling all children the means to reach their full potential physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually. Throughout the year, children are successfully guided through age appropriate and fun activities to achieve these very essential early learning goals. The Leap n' Learn locations each have a team of collaborative, caring, qualified and creative teachers and assistants who all live in or near the community they teach in. Their passion for educating and engaging young children is apparent each and everyday. They go over and above the expectations of what it means to be a preschool teacher. In addition, parents and children love when they see their teacher in and around the community. Our staff turnover rate is minimal and very consistent for this industry. Parents are delighted when their younger children have the same teacher as the older siblings had. Our teachers have all been trained and certified in teaching the Handwriting Without Tears© program that we offer at Leap n' Learn. This program was developed by an occupational therapist for children age 3 to 5. Please be sure to ask us about this aspect of our program. |
