Our Early Learning Library contains thousands of items such as resource boxes, loose parts, circle stories, games, puzzles, and books. Our lending library resources provide endless possibilities for children’s learning! To access these resources, call or email us for details.  

Our enhanced safety protocols allow us to continue to provide drop-off and pick-up opportunities at any of our three locations: 

Resources:

Loose Parts
Loose parts are natural objects or materials, which provide children with endless opportunities to build on their play. Loose parts are open-ended materials providing children with the opportunity to create and test their theories.

Circle Stories
Circle stories are a great interactive approach to some of our favourite storytime books. Circle stories play a huge part in increasing a child's imagination, language development and self-expression, providing hands-on learning.

Manipulative Boxes
Our materials provide multiple opportunities to sustain and extend children's interest through various threads such as sensory, science and manipulative pieces.
T
Activity Boxes
Our activity boxes are full of materials that will help extend a child's learning through various materials, tools and books. They allow children's imaginative and creative thoughts to come alive with the support of educators.
