CHUM Philosophy

We believe children learn best through play and hands-on activities. Through purposeful classroom arrangement and planning developmentally appropriate activities, the children will be meaningfully engaged in play with their peers while attending CHUM Preschool.

  • Sharing and Story Time
  • Music and Finger Plays
  • Science Activities
  • Dramatic and Creative Play
  • Color, Shape and Number Activities
  • Tactile Exploration
  • Large and Small Motor Activities
  • Creative Art and Easel Painting
  • Cooking

We believe in learning through play. These hands-on activities build self-esteem, encourage creative expression and curiosity, and stimulate decision making and problem solving. Your child will be guided through these activities in accordance with their social, emotional and physical readiness.
