Play- Based Philosophy
Hello Future QPPS Families
Thanks for considering Queen’s Park Preschool for your family.
Queen’s Park Preschool is a play-based preschool that offers both morning and afternoon programs for three and four year olds.
Our teachers act as facilitators of play, promoting positive interactions with peers, and using positive guidance strategies. They strive to provide a safe, nurturing, inclusive, environment which encourages spontaneous play and fosters self-esteem.
Open-ended materials, creative spaces and unique experiences, are made available so that the children can learn and be curious about the world around them. As much as possible, the program is child-centered and grows out of the children’s interests and abilities. Parent participation allows parents to be actively involved in their child’s preschool experience by assisting the teachers in the classroom on a rotational basis.
We believe that play provides opportunities for young children to learn about their world through:
- Discovering
- Constructing
- Questioning
- Reasoning
- Testing
- Imitating
- Communicating
- Interacting
- Having fun
We believe that children learn through doing. Please contact us at enroll@qpps.ca for further information.
