Stay and Play (PLUS)

For Little Hearts through Grade 4, Stay and Play (PLUS) is a dynamic and engaging program where children learn and grow through the most natural and enjoyable activity: play. Play is the primary way young children learn about the world around them and themselves. It's intrinsically motivated, occurring without external demands or rewards.

The Stay and Play (PLUS) activities are designed to naturally support children in reaching crucial developmental milestones.

In essence, Stay and Play (PLUS)  is where learning is disguised as pure joy. It's a space where children can explore, discover, make friends, and develop crucial skills, all while having fun and building a strong foundation for their future development.
