A Day in the Life of a Pioneer

Each day, pre-kinders follow a routine like all other programs, including snack time, outdoor play, lunch, bathroom and hygiene, and quiet time.

Our Pioneer children follow our curriculum, which includes lesson plans, small group art and science projects, reading, literacy and storytelling, writing practice, technology play, leadership, math, and plenty of free play. The Pioneer Curriculum was inspired by Alberta Education’s kindergarten learning areas. They will enhance their social skills of working together and build strong friendships. They explore more complex ideas and topics, like how things work, and participate in gardening, nature, and inter-curricular activities like music, dance and movement and children’s yoga.
