A preschooler is more than just an age category or a time to prepare your child for school.  During this time frame of life from age 2 ½ to 5 years your child will develop language, personality, values, and independence.  “What children learn does not follow as an automatic result from what is taught, rather, it is in large part due to children’s own doing, as a consequence of their activities and our resources.”   Loris Malaguzzi, The Hundred Languages of Children.   At Giant Steps Children’s Centre we believe that offering children many varied experiences and opportunities allows them to explore their interests and learn as a result of being engaged in the experiences.  Children will be offered activities based on their interest and invitation from the educators within their learning environment.
