Who We Are
Our popular Preschool program offers licensed care to children ages 3 and 4 years in the Mount Pleasant Community and area.  Each day we provide a safe and stimulating environment where children are prepared for entry into the elementary school system.  We are also venturing into a program for 2 year olds; please note this program is not licensed. 

Location
123 West 16th Avenue

Our Philosophy
Children learn by experience. It is our responsibility to provide a stimulating environment where children develop social and emotionally, as well as intellectually, physically and creatively.  We treat each child as an individual with his or her unique needs and abilities.  Our program provides a comfortable and supportive setting with a focus on the needs and development of children.

Our Program
Your child is attending a structured but flexible Preschool program.  Play is the main tool for learning and expressing feelings.  This program follows a daily routine that includes non-teacher directed time and develops in every child a sense of security and well-being.  A seasonal theme is also followed and developed in each of our activity centres.

The activity centres include: a creative play area, art, blocks, dramatic play, library, music, sand and water, science, and puzzles corner.  Through these areas children receive opportunities to gain new skills, values, and stimulating experiences in a safe healthy environment.

Daily Schedule
Our daily program consists of both structured and non-structured activities:

Free Play         
Arts and Crafts
Music
Stories
Circle Time
Snack
Fieldtrips
Outdoor Exploration
