A, B, C’s and 1, 2, 3’s! We offer two FREE Literacy and Numeracy programs for children in Kindergarten - Grade 2, or Grade 3 - Grade 6. Through assessment and observation we discover each child’s comprehension and skill level and create a syllabus that is adequately engaging, challenging, and most importantly, fun! We take a 'strengths-based approach' to learning where each child receives a positive mentorship from our enthusiastic staff and a take home package to practice their skills. Small group sizes ensure more individual focus and attention.
