Rooms & Programs

Preschool programs are available at Peek 'N'' Play childcare Abbotsford, BC. At Peek 'N'' Play childcare we offer play based, quality preschool programs,   4 days a week (9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.)Monday to Thursday  to build academic, social, and gross and fine motor skills in preparation for kindergarten. Our professional early childhood educators incorporate the best of several teaching methods for structured and unstructured, fun, play based learning that will support preschoolers in discovering themselves and gaining confidence and independence.

• 20 – 35 MINUTES OF FREE PLAY – Children learn to play with each other sharing toys, playing games or puzzles and working together to build things.  Teachers encourage interaction and getting along with one another.  There will be a station which will change monthly with themes such as Grocery Store, Flower Shop, Workshop, Bear Den, etc.  We will also have teacher assisted tables where students will perform safely adapted fine motor tasks such as hammering, threading or sorting and many other activities. Playdough, sensory tables or science tables are also featured!

• 10 – 15 MINUTES OF A GROUP GAME -  i.e. memory game, bean bag games (for balancing and coordination), drama games, finding colors and shape games, partner games, circle games.

• CIRCLE TIME - our circle time is centered around monthly themes ( i.e. hibernation, dinosaurs, insects, circus, health and safety, community workers, plants, friendship, nursery rhymes, etc.)  We discuss what day of the week it is, our number and letter of the week, shape of the week, and counting from one to ten in English and in French.  We also use flashcards to reinforce learning of colors, shapes, numbers etc. In addition, we learn our letters in sign language which helps the children to better understand the alphabet. We sing songs (often related to our monthly theme) and we read stories and perform finger plays. 

• CRAFT TIME (in our art room) – Typically there will be a main art project as well as worksheets and additional stations which could include painting, junk art, cutting, stamping, tracing, stencils and more. At the end of craft time each child has their own basket to keep their crafts in.  They learn their basket by the picture on it and some children can also recognize their name and basket number as well.  In Springtime the art room is home to a special long-term life-cycle project such as hatching chicks or butterflies! 

• OUTDOOR TIME – We have both indoor and outdoor play spaces. Children will play outdoors whenever weather permits. Our fenced outdoor area is partially covered by awnings and a large tree canopy. Our outdoor area is ideal for running, balancing, jumping and make-believe or co-operative play. Our large indoor playroom offers other gross motor skill-building activities including some of the following: mini trampoline, slide,  balance beams, basketball hoop, teeter totter and more. The items will rotate weekly.

• MUSIC  -  Music time uses rhythm instruments and song to learn basic aspects of music theory and foster a love of music.  

• DANCING GAMES – Students will learn dance routines for their December and June performances. They will also have opportunities to learn other fun dance routines such as: Bird Dance, Hokey Pokey, Mulberry Bush, Stretch it out, Freeze Dance, Peppermint Twist, Limbo, Marching song and the Colour Song as well have opportunities for creative movement!
