Preschool Program (30 months to school age)
To inquire if we have space available in our current or upcoming programs, please contact us.
Our preschool program consists of mixed-age classes of kids who range from 3 years old (or those turning 3 by December 31) to school aged (turning 5). The curriculum, based on the Reggio Emilia approach, involves activities in all areas of development, including art, music, science, mathematics and early literacy. We take pride in offering a secure and stimulating environment where all children can thrive both creatively and socially.
We have daily active play and encourage children’s innate love of nature. Our onsite playground was custom-built for preschool aged children.
We offer many enrichment opportunities throughout the year, including field trips and in-class guest experts.
Our preschool program is run by 2 Early Childhood Educator-certified teachers, resulting in a teacher-student ratio of 1:9, one of the best teacher-student ratios in the area. We strive to keep an equal balance of ages in each class.
Snack Time (bring your own) - children eat together and converse about their experiences.
Our programs follow the Vancouver School Board schedule and run September through June.

“There is a special kind of magic at VCSC.”
“Each of our children has loved their time there and thrived in different ways. All of the teachers are fantastic. The emphasis on play-based activities and the focus on creativity, building and art enrich their experience of preschool while still encouraging their early socialization and independence with their peers in a warm supportive environment.” - Helen M.
