Cowichan Preschool was established in 1977 as a parent co-operative preschool. It continues today as a non-profit society administrated by a volunteer board of directors.
Through a combination of self-selected and teacher directed activities, children are provided opportunities for learning in math and science, language and literature, music and movement, and artistic expression.
The learning experience is extended into the community at large with visits to local farms and parks. The beautiful natural setting of the preschool lends itself to the emphasis placed on exploring the outside world through a variety of hands-on experiences.
Children at Cowichan Preschool develop early school readiness skills through this multi-faceted approach, which includes but moves beyond the ABC's and 123's in giving children unique experiences.
