Queen’s Park Preschool is a Parent Participation Preschool (PPP). Our preschool is a non-profit preschool that is owned and operated by the parents of children registered and attending the preschool.
Queen’s Park PPP is a wonderful learning environment which provides parents with an opportunity to be actively involved in their child’s preschool experience, work democratically with other parents and to assist the teachers in the daily operations of the preschool.
Parents also have a chance to:
- Be part of their child’s gentle transition into a preschool.
- Gain valuable insights and ideas for parenting preschoolers through quality parent education sessions.
- See how preschoolers develop and share experiences with other parents.
- Learn together with their child and with the preschool teachers.
