At Westdale Co-operative Preschool, we rely completely on our members to carry out the functions of the school. One parent per child is required to participate at meetings and fundraising. Parents or caregivers also assist with set-up and daily activities. This requirement is usually only two or three days per month for each family and varies depending on enrollment. What a great way for a caregiver to socialize and actively participate in their children's education!
We are open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9AM - 11:30AM
- Children who turn four before December 31 will be placed in the school on the discretion of the teacher and parent.
