At Bay of Wonders, we pride ourselves on our extensive educational program. Below is a list of what programs we offer daily.
Bay of Wonders will be implementing the Early Years Learning Framework. However, we will take a different approach to education by teaching the fundamentals of the academic curriculum and teaching children about acceptance, resilience, compassion and showing kindness to themselves and others. In addition, we will be incorporating positive affirmations daily and a mindfulness program to provide the skills and strategies to get through life by being positive in all aspects of life and teaching children that every child is born to shine!
