Welcome to Oak Bay Preschool!
A part of our beautiful ocean-side community for over 45 years, this high-quality preschool is a home away from home for each child and their family. We offer you the opportunity to be involved
in your child's first school experiences, through opportunities to join classes throughout the month, holding a position within the school, and taking part in community building events. Year
after year, families have returned for the love and sense of community Oak Bay Preschool offers. We are greatly inspired by the Reggio Emilia pedagogical approach, learning through curiosity,
nature, and child-led free play. Our space is filled with age-appropriate play materials, some in loose forms for open-ended discovery and creativity. We also offer a wide variety
of opportunities for learning through nature, the arts (with many artistic mediums to work with), music/movement, and early S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering, and math). We have an
attached outdoor classroom, where we spend time each day, rain or shine. We view each child as a capable, intelligent individual and we join them as enthusiastic collaborators and partners in the
wonder and awe of early years learning.
Oak Bay Parent Owned Preschool is member of The Vancouver Island Cooperative Preschool Association (VICPA).
We offer a preschool program for 3 & 4 year olds; classes are led by our experienced Early Childhood Educator, Keira, and attended by parent assistants. Classes run from September to June.
