An Introduction… How does learning happen?
Program Statement: Welcome to The Pear Tree Preschool licensed child care program. Our program statement describes how our programs support and foster early learning. In the early years, programs are most effective when the content of learning is focused on supporting the development of strategies, dispositions, and skills for lifelong learning through play and inquiry.

Following the framework outlined in “How Does Learning Happen?” Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years (2014) “; and incorporating Early Learning for Every Child Today (ELECT) principles to strengthen our program, The Pear Tree Preschool strives to support children in achieving the following goals and meeting the expectations for programs building on the four foundations for healthy growth and development:

Foundations Goals for Children Expectations for Programs…
