From its lush and lovely campus at Loewen Gardens, B2T will offer unique and innovative holiday camps for little ones ages 4-5, kicking off with Farmers Week in which kiddos can learn about the lifecycle and process of growing produce in the school’s own vegetable garden, while also engaging in artistic expressions of painting and sculpting to hone their observational and thinking skills.

Over the next three weeks children will be immersed in activities focusing on the creative works of well-loved artists, authors and illustrators as varied as Dr. SeussEric Carle, Jackson Pollock and Georgia O’Keeffe, all the while developing their own sense of creative expression.

This works in tandem with the school’s Chinese Language Immersion program, in which each class is led by both an English and native Chinese speaker, which helps children acquire key listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in Chinese.

The innovative “B2T Method” is all about nurturing children’s love of learning with a play- and inquiry-based curriculum, all set in a beautiful environment.
