Daily Rhythm
a balanced approach to learning
|
Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm At Tree of Life, an atmosphere of warmth and beauty sets the stage for seasonal celebrations and regular daily activities. We believe that daily, weekly and yearly rhythm support a child's life, learning and sense of security (rhythm, repetition and regularity are fostered through music & song, movement games, practical activities i.e. sewing, bread-making, painting, gardening and a consistent routine balancing rest and activity). Through an experience of these activities children develop the verbal skills, social capacities, motor skills and curiosity that are all essential for later learning.

We work and live as uninvited occupiers on the lands of the Lekwungen speaking peoples and our outdoor education and play takes place on the traditional and unceded territories of the Lekwungen and W_SÁNEC peoples. We endeavor in work and life to minimize the harm perpetuated by our presence on this land and stand in solidarity with the sovereignty and resurgence of Indigenous peoples.
