75 | Friday, August 28, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Advertorial An exciting school year is just around the corner With only a couple of weeks left of summer vacation for students, teachers at The Oakville Academy for the Arts Kinderschool are busily preparing for the start of another exciting school year! Offering Preschool, Junior and Senior Kindergarten programs for children 2.5 ­ 5 years of age, teachers at OAAK are dedicated to a philosophy that sees children as whole, capable human beings who have the right to co-construct their own educational experience. Having received the Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Education, the Oakville Academy for the Arts Kinderschool nurtures independent and creative thinkers, enthusiastic life-long learners, active explorers and compassionate and respectful human beings. "Children examine, explore, question, assess, and create at a remarkably high level, while the traditional hallmarks of education ­ letter and number identi cation, etc. ­ are expertly and artfully woven in by the teachers," shares a Kinderschool mom. "Dance and Music classes challenge the children physically and mentally and complement the curriculum masterfully." The Kinderschool Director, Berri Laws, is a passionate educator. "Working with children is a joy," says Berri. "I have learned that engaging students is best done through interactive learning and hands-on activities. I like to incorporate open-ended art, music, movement and science activities to encourage students to ask questions, think outside the box and discover their own interests." The OAA Kinderschool offers an arts-enriched learning environment operating September to June with a variety of enrolment options including half day programming for Preschool, Junior and Senior Kindergarten students as well as a full day Kindergarten program for Junior and Senior Kindergarten students.
