Preschool
South Arm Community Centre offers two licensed preschools. Child's World Preschool and Preschool Parade are play-based learning programs designed to develop the whole child intellectually, socially, physically, emotionally and cognitively. Both preschools offer a licensed program that provide a safe and friendly transition between home and school. We offer a diverse setting where children of various cultures and backgrounds can share and learn about each other. Teachers are qualified and experienced in Early Childhood Education and are certified in CPR and First Aid.
