Welcome to Goldstream Preschool!
Children and their families thrive in our safe, nurturing, caring environment and clean, bright space. This parent-participation preschool is located in Langford on Victoria's West Shore and is an allergy-aware space.
Learning Through Play
Childhood play lays the foundations for skills in problem solving, social interaction, and
creativity. Children at Goldstream Co-op Preschool are encouraged to "Learn Through
Play," a model that allows for social, emotional, cognitive and physical development.
They are gently guided as they master the skills needed to move onto Kindergarten with
confidence and high self-esteem. Children are directed with positive encouragement and
supported in achieving self-help skills to foster independence.
Working Together, Sharing Together
Co-op preschools are parent-owned and operated, giving you a direct say in your child's
early education. Parents typically help our
ECE
(Early Childhood Educator) about once a month in the classroom during their "Sharing Day". Parents
also take a role in running the school with jobs as varied as caring for the classroom fish tank to
being president of the co-op. Parents attend monthly meetings where they benefit from parent education
talks by experts in the field, and vote on school business. To keep the programs affordable, parents
are involved in four fundraisers a year.
Programs
We offer two and three day programs for children ages two-and-a-half to five (children must be three by December 31st of the school year in which they are registering). Options
include morning or afternoon sessions in a 10-month calendar that follows the public
school system (September to June)
