ST. MARY’S PRESCHOOL
Preschool is a precious time in a child’s development, and our play-based centre is
designed to nurture the whole child. Through hands-on learning and joyful exploration,
children grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence.
What preschool can instill in your child:
Creative activities such as painting, drawing, and working with playdough strengthen
fine motor skills
Daily interactions help children learn social skills like taking turns, problem solving, and
building healthy relationships with peers.
Routines at the start and end of each day support the development of self-help skills and
independence.
We guide children in self-advocacy and self-regulation, helping them express their needs
and manage their emotions.
Engaging, hands-on activities spark a love for learning in early math, science, and
literacy.
What sets St. Mary’s apart?
Meaningful field experiences: With access to the elementary school’s bus, we
extend classroom learning through enriching field trips to pumpkin patches, (ower
nurseries, farms, grocery stores, and even the police station for private tours.
A brand-new outdoor playground: Installed just over a year ago, it provides a
wonderful space for children to practice their gross motor skills every day.
Dedicated, experienced staff: Our teachers are passionate about our centre and
parish, and we are committed to providing a nurturing, supportive environment for every
child.
Catholic values at the heart of our program: In an increasingly complex world, we
help children grow in faith. Regular interactions with our priests, classroom visits, church
visits, our Christmas concert, daily prayer, and songs of praise are woven into our routine.
Registration is now open for 2026/27
