PRESCHOOL 2022-2023 Preschool programs are based on responsive curriculum where the educators offer an exciting, reflective program based on children’s interests. Our approach focuses on the five areas of healthy child development: social, emotional, physical, creative and cognitive. Based on our responsive approach, programs include various learning opportunities, engagement in open ended activities, free plan and exploration - all concepts that align with the communication, thinking and social competencies that are the core of the new Provincial school curriculum.

PRESCHOOL REGISTRATION Preschool for the 2023/2024 school year starts in September! HAVE YOU SECURED YOUR SPOT? Registration opens Feb 7, 8, 9 | 7:30am and is ongoing until spaces are filled.
