Learning that Inspires Holistic Growth

At Safari Kid Burlington, we understand the importance of early education in shaping a child’s future. Our program is built on a research-backed curriculum that fosters curiosity while addressing essential areas of development. From cognitive and creative growth to social-emotional and physical development, we provide children with the tools they need to thrive.

We focus on developing the whole child through these key areas of learning:

  • Cognitive Development: Through activities involving patterns, counting, and early scientific exploration, young learners discover the joy of learning. Creative opportunities, such as crafting open-ended art projects and participating in pretend play, ignite their imagination and pave the way for innovation.
  • Language and Literacy Development: Strong communication skills are the foundation of lifelong learning. Our program integrates language-building exercises seamlessly into daily routines. Activities like storytelling, phonics, and word games help children build a foundation in reading and writing.
  • Physical Development: Fine motor skills are refined through crafts and activities like threading beads or building structures. Meanwhile, gross motor abilities are enhanced through outdoor games and structured activities that encourage running, jumping, and balancing. Yoga-inspired warm-ups bring an extra layer of fun, helping kids build strength, coordination, and flexibility.
  • Social and Emotional Growth: Through group projects, turn-taking activities, and collaborative play, our young learners develop invaluable interpersonal skills. Guided exercises encourage them to recognize and express their emotions in constructive ways, laying the foundation for emotional intelligence and resilience.
  • Health and Mindfulness Practices: Our program includes essential practices to promote emotional well-being. Children learn mindfulness techniques, such as breathing exercises, to handle big emotions like nervousness or frustration. Additionally, we guide kids through conflict resolution and problem-solving exercises, equipping them with strategies to cope in various situations.

Programs Designed for Discovery and Learning

The preschool years are an ideal time for children to uncover their interests while developing critical skills. Our thoughtfully structured curriculum supports their holistic development by blending purposeful learning with playful experiences.

At Safari Kid Burlington, programs such as Global Child TEMBO Talks encourage children to connect emotionally and socially. Physical abilities flourish in Tumbling Tots, and fine motor skills are strengthened through fun activities in Busy Little Paws. CHIRP, our literacy program, helps build language and pre-writing skills, while STREAM (science, technology, reading, engineering, arts, and math) invites children to explore the world across multiple disciplines. Lastly, Story Explorers boosts critical thinking, imagination, and listening skills.

Our educators personalize these programs to align with each child’s unique learning style. Whether it’s pre-writing exercises, recognition of letters, or exploring phonetics, we ensure every child receives the attention and encouragement they need to build a solid foundation for lifelong success.
