St. Alban's Preschool

Age

18 months to 5 years

Program description

Our mission is to promote and enrich the growth of the whole child through the provision of a safe, nurturing, stimulating and fun program.

Our philosophy is based on the Cognitive-Interactionist approach which allows children to take an active part in their learning in all development areas.  We believe learning through play gives children the opportunity to make choices within a safe environment.  We strive to work together with parents, as a team, to enrich and promote growth.  Through age appropriate programming and activities we strive to support learning in the social/emotional, cognitive/fine motor, language/early reading readiness, creative/sensory and gross motor areas. 

St. Alban’s Boys and Girls Club Preschool is licensed by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services and is assessed by the City of Toronto’s Operating Criteria.  To see our rating, go to www.toronto.ca/children.
