Highland Park Preschool

Operating five days a week, Highland Park Preschool offers 2.5-hour morning and afternoon classes at Highland Park Community Hall. Highland Park Preschool is a parent-operated, non-profit, and non-denominational play-school. We focus on play-based learning to "facilitate and enhance the child's development." We aim to develop three fundamental aspects: (1) social skills development, (2) positive attitudes towards school, and (3) physical growth. Our offerings include preschool aged 3 to 4 years, snack, circle time, and gym time. Your child will enjoy songs, stories, play, and art activities, improving their speech, language, social, and fine motor skills. For the physical needs of your child, the Community Center provides a variety of space options, including an indoor gym and an outdoor area. A typical preschool day entails painting, dressing up, using instruments, building blocks and puzzles, cleaning, and exploring new possibilities to learn about preschool science. Developmentally-adequate literacy, mathematics concepts, and social skills are encouraged. Also, various drama play centers are set up throughout the year. These imaginative play centers help children to explore their world and understand it better. We strive to provide a rich learning environment through various services provided by guests, such as Mad Science, Calgary Library, and many other amazing guests.
