- Yoga and Mindfulness: Sessions to help children develop body awareness, flexibility, and mindfulness, promoting overall well-being.
- Storytime Adventures: Engaging stories that spark imagination and enhance listening and comprehension skills.
The Heart Enrichment Hour offers a seamless extension to our preschool day, ensuring a balanced and enriching experience for your child. Join us for an hour of fun, learning, and discovery every weekday at The Heart of Riverdale Community Centre!
For the Extended programming, we have two options:
1. Regular Basis Option: This option is for parents who want extended programming consistently. It will cost $85 per month, which includes a discount compared to the daily fee. To sign up, parents need to log in to their Akada profile and request registration in Heart Heroes Enrichment Hour. The program starts for everyone on August 26th, so the charge for August will be $5 per day. Starting in September, the $85 monthly fee will be charged together with the regular payment during the first week of each month. If someone requests this option after August 26th, they will need to message me (Melissa) to discuss the starting day of the programming.
2. Occasional Basis Option: This option is for parents who need extended programming only occasionally. There is no need to request registration for this option. However, since our spots per day are limited, (16 spots) parents will need to contact Melissa (melissa.cortes@theheartofriverdale.com) in advance to request a specific day or check in the morning during drop-off to see if there is a spot available. The charge will be processed after the end of each month based on the number of days used at a rate of $5 per day.
*Preschool will end the day at Morleys park for pick-up. Enrichment hour: We will stay outside until weather permits then we will be back to the Heart of Riverdale for a variety of activities. Please check the schedule above to know in what studio your child is or the sign on preschool main entrance door.
