Early Years

Our nurturing environment encourages our youngest students to feel secure and helps them start to build their independence.

We balance a rich, academic environment with creative and purposeful play, helping students construct a solid base of knowledge of the world around them. A skilled, dedicated educator who is an expert in early childhood education and inquiry-based learning leads each classroom. In our purpose-built Junior School, the Kindergarten classrooms are designed to meet the needs of our youngest students. Through experiential and imaginative play, Elmwood students engage in early literacy activities and tackle mathematical problems using a variety of strategies, helping them establish a strong foundation for their future studies.

Program Highlights

We are so pleased to have our daughter in the Pre-K program at Elmwood. At only three years old, we can already see her passion for school flourishing. Her engaging and loving teachers make every day fun and exciting for the girls. Each day our daughter can't wait to tell us about her new learning and adventures had with friends.
