Westboro Village Co-Operative Preschool Inc

The Westboro Village Co-Operative Preschool Inc. is a licensed non-profit childcare centre in Ottawa, Ontario. It is a not-for-profit organization. Thirty years ago, the school was established on the principle of children learning best through exploration, play, and inquiry. We also believe that parents play a critical role in a child's educational success. Our goal is to provide infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families with a supportive and inclusive learning environment. Expression, Belonging, and Well-Being are our four fundamental learning foundations (ELECT frameworks). Cooperative learning is a family-centred approach that encourages teachers and parents to collaborate, share ideas, and create connections, thus building a strong community. It provides authentic learning experiences for children and their parents in the program. Our preschool program is for children aged 2 and 3 years old. Preschool readiness is our priority. Westboro's stepping stones program is a kindergarten readiness program designed to allow for a full-day kindergarten experience. This program is based on children's interests and questions. This structure is comparable to that of Full-Day Kindergarten in Ontario. Preschoolers take responsibility for their learning, and learning and leadership are supported by educators

The reviews for WVCP are excellent. Parents report a variety of positive experiences. Their children are loving their time at the centre. They are learning a lot and having fun.
