Rhyme and Reason offers a teacher-student ratio of 1:8 to ensure that every child receives the nurturing and responsive care they deserve.

Our Educators are highly-qualified and extremely passionate, with years of experience in a wide variety of classrooms, teaching methodologies, program structures, and continuing training.

We offer ten sessions a week, mornings and afternoons, Mondays thru Fridays, with a mixed-age cohort (3 years to 5 years old) and the option to combine sessions into full-day care. Family Volunteers are scheduled on a regular basis to join in and witness the learning that takes place in our classroom. Special Guests and Partner Organizations also join us regularly for enhanced learning opportunities. We want the world to be our classroom, so in our brief hours in our indoor learning centre, we will bring the world to us.

Tracking Our Learning Journeys

It is important that caregivers, teachers, and our children are all on the same page and the same team in the education process. Rhyme & Reason keeps a digital archive for each student, with stories, pictures, video, audio, and interactive elements to track and preserve each learning journey. Every family will have private and secure access to their child’s archive, which will be updated weekly with artefacts of learning. Multiple lines and methods of communication between caregivers and teachers will be fostered throughout the year to keep us connected.

Our program for each day is child-led and play-based, and is often determined in three main, alternating ways; democratic processes for the "We/Group" plan, self-selection for the "Me/Individual" plan, and by energy and needs assessments completed by the teachers with the students. While we offer a predictable, secure environment and plans for transitions, days are not 'scheduled' in a traditional way, and are co-constructed with our students every day. The sample on the side is an example of what a day typical might look like.
