Strathcona Nursery School promotes a learn through play environment for 2½ to 5 year olds. We emphasize play because play enhances children’s physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth and development. Through play, children learn to concentrate, exercise their imagination, try out ideas, rehearse behaviour, and make sense of their world. We take every possible precaution to ensure a safe and healthy school community, including a new commercial sanitizer unit. Our Philosophy
Strathcona Nursery School strives to present a high-quality, developmentally appropriate program based on a learn-though-play philosophy. It is the goal of Strathcona Nursery School and its teachers to provide an opportunity for preschool children to play in a mixed-age setting, encourage their creativity and curiosity with a wide range of materials and activities, and foster a sense of security and self-confidence in children by offering them a safe setting in which to develop relationships and solve conflicts. A parent cooperative preschool
All families at Strathcona Nursery School are members of a parent-led cooperative preschool, which means that the success and well-being of the school depends on your commitment and dedication throughout the year. The parent body works together toward common goals, the most important of which is to provide a happy, safe, and satisfying preschool experience for SNS students. Parental involvement is essential for the effective operation of the cooperative. The quality of the preschool is directly related to the efforts and commitments of the entire parent body. You are encouraged to talk to the teachers about any special interests, hobbies, work, etc.
