Highlands Preschool in Edgemont: Spots Open in 3’s & 4’s Classes!
Do you have a 3 or 4 year old who isn’t yet attending pre-school? Have you been thinking about giving it a try but don’t know where to start?
It’s not too late to get your little ones enrolled for preschool on the North Shore this year, even though November is suddenly upon us!
Highlands Preschool has been providing outstanding early-years education to North Shore children for over 50 years, and they have immediate openings in their 3’s and 4’s classes!
Located in Edgemont Village, North Vancouver, Highlands Preschool aims to inspire curiosity, independence and a life-long love of learning to help their children become contributing members of our community and the world.. My eldest daughter attended Highlands for a number of years (starting as a 2-year old) and our family couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. The philosophy behind the curriculum is that children should be involved actively in their own learning through play. They “learn by doing”, often working with hands-on, open ended materials and carrying out projects of their own choosing, supported by highly qualified teachers.
Highlands’ approach encompasses all aspects of child development and places focus on learning early skills in language, listening and literacy taught throughout the whole curriculum. Their children build essential skills in problem solving and sustained thinking, among others, which leads to future academic and social success. At Highlands, experienced teachers work together with parents to support their children through their early years, extending their emotional, social, academic, physical skills and abilities.
Highlands Preschool provides bright, well-equipped classrooms, a fun outdoor area with a private playground and sandbox, and a large gym for rainy days with bikes, balls and play structures. They also offer an enjoyable music program for all of their children with an experienced and creative Early Childhood Educator and musician. This provides for an exceptionally well-rounded program for young children.
Class options are 2, 3 or 4 days per week, and there are immediate spots available in the 3’s and 4’s classes!
