Didsbury Preschool Society

Our Story

About the Didsbury Preschool Society:
The school was established in 1978 by a very dedicated group of parents, whose purpose was to provide their preschool children with the opportunity to learn through constructive play and the development of social skills, prior to entering the regular school system.
The Didsbury Preschool is a non-profit society, operated by a Parent Executive Board, who meet monthly to administer and update the operation of the school, and to table events or concerns of the school. Fundraising is a very important aspect of the Preschool's financial budget.

Generally speaking, the Didsbury Preschool follows the same school calendar as Ross Ford Elementary, Westglen Middle School, and the Didsbury High School, so when Chinook’s Edge School Division schools have holidays, so will the Didsbury Preschool.


Our Philosophy:
Our program is a “Learning through Play” format. This means that through free play such as water table, sand table, play dough, dress up, etc., and through structured play such as stories, songs, crafts, worksheets and games, the children learn concepts, forming the basis for their journey to discover the world.

Our Students:
Children attending Didsbury Preschool must be a minimum of 36 months of age and must be potty trained. In addition to Educational Assistants and other Professionals, we require one additional Parent Volunteer at the school at all times. If there is no Parent Volunteer, there is no class.
