Programs
Preschool begins the first Tuesday after the Labor Day long weekend in September, and continues until the last week in June, coinciding with the Coquitlam public school year holidays. During the first day of school on Tuesday and Wednesday the parents are welcome to stay if they wish. The preschool will close for two weeks over the Christmas holidays in December and two weeks during spring break in March, both coinciding with the public school holidays.
Learn and Play Preschool is part of the Child Care Fee Reduction Incentive and thus our fees are lower based on funding from the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development. The fees below show the full tuition broken down monthly and the monthly fee after the CCFRI has been applied (pending governement approval). All students will have the CCFRI reduction applied to thier tuition and only the amount after CCFRI is required per month.

Field Trips
Our goal is to have one field trip each month of the school year, for all the preschool classes. Most of our fieldtrips will be related to the themes that we will be studying each month, and will be used as a final activity to tie up the unit that we have been studying.
We will require 3-5 parents to drive and supervise on each of our school field trips throughout the year. We hope that all the parents will have an opportunity to accompany their child on a school field trip at least twice in the school year. Of course all parents are welcome to attend any or all field trips if they wish.
