The educational emphasis at The Big Backyard is on learning through play. A thematic approach helps capture children's imagination and encourage depth of engagement.

We create a rich learning environment and encourage children to explore, make choices, try out ideas and collaborate with their peers. Art, drama, sensory play, music, mathematics, science and stories are a consistent part of our program. Circle time helps teach children about being part of a group, taking turns and following directions. Outdoor play is emphasized. Our wonderful playground includes swings, slides, riding toys, climber and plenty of space to run around.

It is our aim to foster the social, emotional and intellectual growth of children by making each child feel safe, respected and loved.
