Early Years Programs
Play & Learn | Ages 3-5
🚂 PLAY & LEARN 🚂
.
Join our fun-filled Play & Learn program, specially designed to support children as they prepare for Kindergarten. In this 10-month program, children will explore early learning concepts such as ABCs, 123s, and daily classroom routines, while also developing fundamental movement skills through our Physical Literacy component. Set in a clean, safe, and nurturing environment, Play & Learn promotes learning through a balanced mix of self-directed exploration, organized activities, and cooperative play. The program encourages children to build friendships, develop routines, and gain confidence in a relaxed and inclusive classroom setting that fosters resilience, creativity, and social-emotional growth. Registration is ongoing throughout the year. Children may be registered at age three or up to one month before their third birthday, and must be fully toilet trained (no pullups). Parent participation may be required. Come play, learn, and grow with us - we look forward to welcoming you!

👶 KINDER PLAY TIME 👶
.
Does your little one love to get creative, burn off energy, or move to the music? We’ve got just the thing! Join us for Kinder Play - a fun-filled, high-energy program where children can explore, play, and express themselves through themed activities each week. Mondays are all about art, giving your child the chance to create and get messy with fun, hands-on crafts. On Wednesdays, we move and groove with a music theme, featuring instruments, rhythm games, and lots of dancing. We wrap up the week with Fridays focused on play, using preschool equipment and guided activities to help develop motor skills and coordination in a playful, supportive environment. Parents are required to attend to provide care and support for their little ones during the sessions. Try the new CLR Kinder Play 5-Pass option: pre-load your RecCowichan card with 5 passes, scan at the door, and drop in to the themed sessions that work for your schedule. It’s flexible, easy, and fun - just scan and play!
