About us
MAGIC CIRCLE PRESCHOOL OBJECTIVES:
To provide a program that encourages the development of the child - physically, cognitively, linguistically, socially and emotionally. The program encourages self-directed, active, play-based learning. When children are allowed to decide how they will spend their time, they develop qualities such as autonomy, judgement, independent decision making, social give-and-take, initiative, exploration and creativity. In addition, children develop a reasonable amount of compliance, they understand the rules of group behavior and they accept the authority and wisdom of their teachers in safety related issues.
Indoor space is organized into learning centers which combine materials and equipment around common activities. Learning centers can include art, manipulatives, dramatic play, sensory experiences, blocks, music, science, math, books, language arts, woodworking, cooking and a variety of other areas that fit the unique interests, developmental needs, and characteristics of a group of children and teachers.
Learning centers allow children to make choices from a range of available, developmental appropriate activities.
PLAY
Play is one of the most important and necessary part of a child’s day. Play serves as a means of learning about and making sense of the world. It is essential to all aspects of children’s development. It is an activity which is concerned with the whole of his being, not with just one small part of him and to deny him the right to play is to deny him the right to live and grow. Play promotes mastery as children practice skills; it furthers cognitive development as thinking abilities are stretched: it involves language, encouraging new uses, it involves physical activity; it helps children work through emotions; its inventive nature makes it creative; it is often a socializing event; Beyond all that, it provides a way for children to assimilate and integrate their life experiences. Play is a serious... show more undertaking necessary to healthy development for all children. show more

West-Island M. asked:A question from a mom: "Can anyone recommend a daycare that is attached to a school? (West Island). My friend on the South Shore sent her baby to a daycare that was associated with the elementary school she will be going to next year. The big plus is the daycare knows how to prepare the kids for kindergarten, and there is less adjustment anxiety. Does anything like this exist in the West Island?"Jennifer C. replied:Sherwood Forest Elementary has a pre-school for 3 and 4 year olds in the same building (not sure if you are looking for something for younger kids). I haven't used it (I only know about it because my kids are at Sherwood) so can't comment on whether it is good or not: http://magiccirclepreschool.com/

Looking for s pre k or few hours a week daycare for my 3 year old too have some interaction with other kids and play. What's the easiest and best place that has room ? TiaLyster F. replied:Magic Circle Preschool (http://magiccirclepreschool.com) is located inside Sherbrooke Academy Elementary School, 313 Windermere Road, Beaconsfield. The class is full, however they are currently taking registrations for the 2017 / 2018 school year. References available upon request, however there are probably Alumni on this site who can attest to the quality of the program.
