Hands On is designed for children who have attended First Steps or for children attending preschool for the first time at approximately 2½ years of age.

The program is slightly more structured than First Steps and takes into account the increasing physical skills and gradually increasing concentration span of many children. Children move around the main school building participating in self-selected activities, small and large group activities, such as art and craft, sand and water play, music and movement, simple cookery and food preparation, circle time for language reinforcement, indoor and outdoor play, group snack time, etc. Activities which practice new skills such as scissor work, easel painting, colouring and shading are gradually introduced. Children are especially encouraged in the development of independence, self-confidence and social skills such as sharing and turn-taking.

Children usually begin to participate enthusiastically in small group activities to stimulate language development, and their repertoire of songs and rhymes continually expands.

Hands On is designed as a program which children will attend 3 days a week, unaccompanied by their parent or baby-sitter. However we recognise that for many children of this age the process of separation is a stressful experience and for this reason we also provide a transitional program which children may attend twice weekly, accompanied, up to the age of 3 years.

First Steps 1½ - 2½ years

Hands On 2½- 3½ years

Right Start 3½ - 4½ years
