The CEFA educational system at Core Educational & Fine Arts (CEFA) Junior Kindergarten is one of todays leading approaches to educating young children. Its rich academic content is designed to stimulate the child in many different ways, to optimize the natural development of the childs brain. This wonderful approach facilitates learning experiences for children in areas such as mathematics, reading, writing, drama, science, visual arts, music, yoga and many more. It is based on the belief that children must be given the opportunity to learn and exercise their intellect in various forms, such as the expression of their creativity, reasoning, and sequential thinking. In the CEFA environment, children have ample time to learn, play and express themselves in creative ways. Our full day early learning and junior kindergarten programs at our schools are far beyond the typical childcare programs found throughout Canada.
