Preschool is a play-based program which gives children from the ages of 3 to 5 the opportunity to play and socialize with others. Preschool offers essential play and learning activities, as well as the opportunity for early screening of developmental milestones by Alberta Health Services Speech and Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and Physical Therapists.
Preschools are not funded by school boards, nor are they regulated by the Education Act. However, preschools often partner with schools as the facilities are available and the opportunity for collaboration can benefit everyone.
