Full o'Beans Preschool

Full o'Beans Preschool is designed to provide a learning environment that supports your child's growth and development in all areas. Experiencing new things and exploring ideas, learning how to interact with peers, make friends, and just having fun, that's preschool. 

Located inside Pearkes Recreation centre our Part-Day Preschool runs from September to June, and registration begins in February/March of each year for the upcoming September.
​We ask that children attending preschool be ready, or almost ready to use the toilet independently or with minimal assistance. ​

Part-day Preschool program:

​
‘Flex’: Our Flex program offers a 4-hour program, with the option to choose the days that work best for your family (minimum 2 days per week.) This program features a large outdoor component, with as much as 2 hours each day outside in our playground and/or Cuthbert Holmes Park, a natural wooded park behind the Rec Centre. Indoor activities are also available each day as well the gym, library, and in-class visitors. This program is open to all children who are 3 years and older by December 31st.

Our part-day program provides opportunities for children to play and grow with their peers, make friends, and learn some new skills that will carry them into Kindergarten. They are also supported as they learn how to be independent, take care of their own belongings, resolve conflicts with peers, and express themselves effectively. Regular active play encourages skill building such as coordination and balance, and builds physical strength, stamina, and dexterity. 

Snacks are provided daily for each group, with lunch coming from home. 
We are closed on all statutory holidays, and there is a two-week closure in December, as well as during spring break in March/April. As we value continued growth and education, we also close for up to three staff professional development days annually.

Registration opens in each year in Winter/Spring for the upcoming sessions.
2025/2026 sessions are currently full, please use the button above to join the waitlist.
