Preschool

Our preschool is a licensed program for children aged 3 and 4 located at David Livingstone Elementary School. The program offers a school-readiness focused program that supports children’s early learning and development in a warm, inclusive, and nurturing environment. We are committed to fostering each child’s social, emotional, educational, and physical growth through play-based learning and guided activities.

Children in our care benefit from:

  • A supportive setting that encourages independence, curiosity, and confidence

  • Daily routines that help build foundational skills for a successful transition to kindergarten

  • Nutritious morning snack and lunch provided as part of our program

  • Special outings that extend learning beyond the classroom

Location: David Livingstone Elementary
315 East 23rd Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5V 1X6
