Preschool
South Arm Community Centre sponsors two licensed preschools.
Child's World Preschool is offered in the Community Hall within South Arm Park, at the foot of Garden City Road, south of Williams Road.
Preschool Parade is offered in a room in the South Arm Community Centre that opens up to a playground.
Both preschools offer a licensed program that provides a safe and friendly transition between home and school. Our preschools are designed to develop the whole child, with many opportunities for learning through play.
We offer a diverse setting where children of various cultures and backgrounds can share and learn about each other. Our curriculum is planned to incorporate a variety of subjects, themes, special holidays and multicultural events.
Teachers are qualified and experienced in Early Childhood Education with all staff having CPR and First Aid certificates.
