 About
Us
Village Preschool began in 1962 when Frances Richmond began nurturing
and caring for young children, first in her home and then at Saratoga
Federated Church a year later. From then until now it has been a
warm, nurturing and highly-respected early childhood program. It
is designed to help each child have a happy and successful start
in his or her education before the formal school process begins. |
Village Preschool is staffed by dedicated, experienced
teachers whose concern is not only for the children but their families
as well. The teachers' goal is to provide the children with opportunities
for "hands-on" discovery and a joy for learning. Our program
is based on Christian principles, where the goodness and uniqueness
of each child is appreciated and nourished.
Our school offers programs for children from the ages of 2 years
and 9 months (toilet trained) to the start of kindergarten. We have
carefully planned for a physical environment that is stimulating
and attractive, which includes outdoor activities as well. We offer
an inclusive program, when it is mutually determined by both the
parent and staff that we can adequately support the progress of each
child.  Village
Preschool’s philosophy is one that respects and acknowledges
the differences of each child. Our teachers are here to assist the
child and to help them overcome obstacles in the learning and growth
progress as well as build on each child’s strengths. |
We celebrate each
and every child.
We support the
belief that a child's
success comes from
experiencing success.
Our goal is to develop
a strong sense of
self-confidence and
self-esteem
in each child. |
