Infant Program
3 months – 18 months
Our infant program provides the gentlest introduction to care and learning, focusing on warmth, trust, and responsive routines. During these formative months, babies develop rapidly, and our nurturing environment is designed to support every milestone — from first smiles to first steps.
We offer individualized care with low ratios so that each infant receives consistent attention, comfort, and encouragement. Teachers build secure
bonds with babies through cuddling, singing, reading aloud, and engaging in simple sensory activities that stimulate early cognitive and motor development.
- Personalized routines for feeding, diapering, and napping that mirror home schedules
- Cozy, calming spaces for rest alongside safe areas for tummy time, rolling, and crawling
- Gentle sensory play with textures, sounds, and visuals to spark curiosity and awareness
- Early language exposure through songs, rhymes, and stories to support communication skills
- Consistent caregiver relationships that promote trust, emotional security, and confidence
Toddler Program
18 months – 2.5 years
Our toddler program introduces young children to a world of discovery in a safe, nurturing environment. At this age, children are eager to explore, and our teachers guide them through daily routines, sensory activities, and interactive play that build early focus, independence, and confidence.
Classrooms are designed to feel like a “home away from home,” with cozy spaces for quiet moments, activity areas for play and creativity, and opportunities to practice self-help skills such as dressing, tidying, and sharing with friends. Every experience is intentionally crafted to support both cognitive growth and physical development, while encouraging social connections and a love of learning
Preschool Program
2.5 years – 4 years
As children grow more social and curious, our preschool program supports them in becoming active explorers of their world. Teachers blend playful instruction with hands-on projects, helping children discover early concepts in reading, math, and science. This age group is full of “why” questions, and we foster that curiosity through meaningful activities that stretch their imagination and problem-solving skills.
- Building early literacy through songs, phonics, storytelling, and recognition of simple words
- Exploring math concepts such as counting, measuring, and sorting in fun, practical ways
- Developing cooperation, problem-solving, and communication through group play and projects
- Strengthening independence, focus, and creativity through guided instruction and child-led exploration
By the end of preschool, children are equipped with the confidence and foundational skills to transition smoothly into kindergarten learning.
Kindergarten Program
4 years – 6 years
Our kindergarten program prepares children for a confident start to Grade One by focusing on school readiness and positive peer relationships. Lessons emphasize collaboration, perseverance, and resilience while strengthening academic foundations in literacy and numeracy.

- Counting, number recognition, patterns, and spatial awareness with age-appropriate materials
- Expanding reading confidence through sight words, rhymes, and simple books Opportunities for role play, storytelling, and collaborative projects that integrate multiple subject areas
- Encouragement of resilience, curiosity, and social confidence for a smooth transition to Grade One
How We Teach Our Little Minds
Belonging
Belonging
At ABCnME, we believe children and families thrive when they feel truly connected. Parents are their child’s first teachers, and when families and educators work together, children benefit from a consistent, supportive environment both at home and in care.
We know that life gets busy, and being involved every day isn’t always easy. That’s why we make communication a top priority — through daily updates, open conversations, and ongoing collaboration with parents. Our goal is to create a warm community where families feel respected, valued, and supported.
We also believe in strong community ties. ABCnME partners with local organizations and resources to ensure families have access to the services and supports they need, creating a true network of care around each child.

Well-Being
Well-Being
Your child’s health, safety, and happiness are the foundation of everything we do at ABCnME. We are committed to providing nutritious meals, a safe and clean environment, and attentive care that meets each child’s unique needs.
Beyond physical health, well-being means helping children build confidence, resilience, and self-awareness. We encourage children to explore, try new things, and learn how to take safe risks — whether it’s climbing a little higher, trying a new activity, or making a new friend. These small steps build strong, capable learners who feel secure in themselves and the world around them.

Engagement
Engagement
Children learn best when they are curious and engaged. At ABCnME, play is not just fun — it’s the heart of learning. Through hands-on experiences, exploration, and discovery, children develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and critical thinking.
We know that learning is sometimes messy — and that’s a good thing. Whether it’s painting, building, or outdoor play, we encourage children to immerse themselves fully in the experience. Each moment of focused play is an opportunity for growth, exploration, and joy.

Expression
Expression
At ABCnME, we help children find their voice — in every sense of the word. From early language and literacy skills to creative outlets like art, music, and storytelling, we provide a variety of ways for children to express themselves.
We understand that emotions and behaviours are part of growing up. Our educators support children as they learn to communicate their feelings, solve problems, and work together with others. By building strong communication skills and self-regulation, children develop the tools they need to succeed in school and in life.
Expression is about more than words — it’s about helping each child feel heard, respected, and understood as they build lasting connections with the world around them.
