Why Is Pre-School Important?

The early years are the most important when it comes to ensuring that a child is ready for school. Our emphasis is on socialization, behavioural skills and kindergarten readiness by learning through play.  All activities incorporate alphabet and number skills.

Mission Statement

Pre-School provides a nurturing and stimulating atmosphere to promote the use of a child’s most important learning tool - that of meaningful play.

It is our belief that through such play, the child will gain increased self esteem, as well as healthy growth in the areas of social, physical, intellectual, creative, emotional and sensory development.

Through our program we strive for a warm and caring environment for 3 and 4 year olds to build self-confidence, make friends, as well as interact and socialize with children their own age in a group setting.
