Curriculum at Garderie Tweetoons –
West Island Private Daycare
At Garderie Tweetoons, our West Island daycare curriculum is designed to support the holistic development of every child. We serve families in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Pierrefonds, and Roxboro, offering a high-quality bilingual educational program that promotes curiosity, independence, and confidence from an early age.
Our curriculum focuses on building strong foundations in learning, social skills, emotional well-being, and physical development. Through structured activities and learning through play, children develop essential skills while enjoying a warm, family-oriented environment.
A Balanced and Modern Educational Philosophy
We believe that no single educational method is enough to support a child’s full development. Therefore, our West Island daycare curriculum combines proven educational approaches to create a rich and balanced learning experience.
We integrate:
- The Montessori approach to support independence, concentration, and cognitive growth
- The Waldorf philosophy to encourage creativity, imagination, and fine motor development
- An academic foundation to introduce early language, reading, and mathematics
- Learning through play to strengthen social, emotional, and communication skills
This blended approach allows each child to learn at their own pace and develop confidence in their abilities.
A Comprehensive Educational Program
Our bilingual educational program focuses on two main components: Knowledge and Development. Together, these create a balanced learning experience that supports the whole child.
Knowledge
Throughout the year, we explore a variety of engaging themes that spark curiosity and foster a love of learning. These themes introduce children to new ideas, cultures, and concepts, helping them better understand the world around them.
For example, children learn about:
- Nature and the environment
- Animals and science
- Seasons and weather
- Community helpers and professions
- Cultures and traditions from around the world
These discoveries encourage observation, questioning, and critical thinking.
Development
Our weekly program focuses on five essential domains of development:
- Language and communication
- Cognitive and problem-solving skills
- Fine motor development
- Physical and motor development
- Social, emotional, and moral growth
Each day, children participate in activities that support all these areas equally. As a result, they grow in a balanced and holistic way.
Individualized Learning and Support
At Garderie Tweetoons, we understand that every child is unique. Our educators observe each child carefully and adapt activities to match their interests, strengths, and developmental milestones.
This individualized approach allows children to grow with confidence, feel valued, and reach their full potential in a supportive and nurturing environment.
Special Activities and Enrichment
We also offer monthly enrichment programs, including:
Music and dance
Art
Karate
Yoga
Science
Swimming
We also organize educational outings, including visits to museums, nature centers, farms, and community institutions. Seasonal activities such as apple picking, sugaring off, and summer water parks create meaningful memories and real-world learning experiences.
A Strong Foundation for Lifelong Learning
Research shows that the first five years of life are essential for brain development and future success. Our West Island daycare curriculum builds strong foundations in learning, independence, and confidence.
By combining education, care, and a family-oriented environment, we help children become curious, motivated, and lifelong learners.
At Garderie Tweetoons, we are proud to offer a balanced and high-quality educational program where children can learn, grow, and thrive every day.
