Capilano Playschool Capilano Playschool is a community based, parent co-operative playschool for 3 & 4 year olds, located in Hardisty School.

We follow a "learn through play" philosophy providing children with a fun and supportive early learning environment. We offer a full-time program (5 mornings a week) from 8:45am to 11:15 am as well as part-time options (3 days M/W/F or 2 days T/Th). Our community based programming promotes social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development while nurturing the child's desire to learn. We provide time for action songs, outdoor activities, and physical development. We believe that children should be free to explore art materials and to express themselves without adult restrictions and expectations placed on their work. Our goal is to be a fun and happy place for all our families. We hope that you and your child will create long-lasting friendships through your association with Capilano Playschool. Our objective is to encourage development of the whole child through building physical and intellectual abilities, contributing to the development of a positive self-concept, and ultimately encourage the desire to learn

Book of the Month is baaaaaack! 📚

October’s BOTM is “Room on the Broom” by Julia Donaldson. Her rhyming stories are always captivating for young children, and this story about friendship and quick thinking is no different!

May’s Book of the Month is “How Do Flowers Grow?” 🌷🌻

Lift the flaps to learn all about the different parts of a flower, how they work together to help plants grow, and how to spot the seeds from different types of plants! A wonderful read for curious kids who love nature

“It’s time to add a pinch of adventure, a sprinkle of sunshine and a big handful of outdoor play” - Penny Whitehouse ☀️🍉

This week our students got to hit the pavement on their scooters and bikes! Not only did they get some physical activity in, but it also allowed them to learn more about safety (like wearing a helmet and being aware), as well as bike etiquette (such as giving adequate space to others).

After a loop around the school, they loved being able to race around the track in the courtyard 💨

A reminder to all of our families (& community!) that the code PLAYSCHOOL26 gets you a discount on Pedalheads Bike Camps this summer! 🚲
