Philosophy

OUR PHILOSOPHY:

Brant is "a happy place to grow and learn" because:
  • we provide a healthy and safe environment;
  • we develop well-balanced programs;
  • we provide opportunities for children to have fun, to enjoy learning, and to develop their problem-solving skills;
  • we encourage children to use their imaginations and to assist them to develop their creative potential; and
  •  
  • we help children learn to get along with others, to share and to trust each other.
Dr.  Knoepfli, Brant’s full-time Director, summarizes our philosophy as follows:

"Although we recognize the importance of play, Brant is perceived very much as a school for young children.  We are classroom based with a focus on developing strong language and literacy skills.  Our objective is to have the children enter Grade One already reading or with a strong phonetically-based background so that the children will learn to read easily and effectively in their primary years."
