Licensed Preschool at Champlain Heights Community Centre ages 3 to 5 years.

Champlain Heights Community Centre Preschool is a play-based inclusive and child-focused program.

We provide a safe, caring and fun environment where children are encouraged to explore, play and learn. We welcome all families and respect different cultures, beliefs and learning styles. Our program is flexible and adjusted to meet each child’s individual needs.

Our Licensed Preschool program uses nature as place for play and exploration in all seasons, and strengthen the connection between children and the natural world. We spend a third of our time outside exploring and the remainder back in the classroom to deepen the children’s knowledge. Also, we provide a variety of developmentally appropriate activities in a safe, positive and nurturing environment. Activities include free play, STEAM, arts and crafts, music, story time, baking, gym, snack time, as well as pre-planned field trips throughout the year.

Guided nature experiences by our licensed preschool teachers in Champlain Heights’ numerous parks and green ways offer children improved opportunities for authentic connections with nature.There is a maximum of 20 children in each class and 2 qualified teachers. This program runs from September to June and is closed for: Statutory holidays, Christmas Break (2 weeks), Spring Break (2 weeks).
