Preparing Your Child For Kindergarten
North Vancouver Recreation and Culture operates three preschools. Our focus is on preparing your child for kindergarten in a positive learning environment that creates unforgettable memories and builds self-confidence and life skills. Each preschool offers unique learning experiences and is led by highly qualified, licensed Early Childhood Educators.
NVRC Licensed Preschools
Our licensed preschools provide children 3-5 years old with opportunities for social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth preparing children for the kindergarten experience. Our Preschools provide a positive, caring play-based learning environment.
Each NVRC Preschool is taught by a qualified Early Childhood Educator with a staff to child ratio of 1:10 and a limit of 20 children per class. 2020/2021 classes commence the week of September 14.
