About Us
Discovery Time Preschool was founded in Westmount more than 25 years ago. We provide a safe and inclusive learning environment for children of all backgrounds.
We are a non-profit program of the Westmount Community League licensed with Alberta Children and Youth Services (through the regional Child and Family Service Authority). We are a parent-led cooperative; the success of the school depends on parents' commitment and dedication throughout the year.
Discovery Time practices a "learning through play" philosophy. Under the guidance of our teachers, children engage in playful learning activities that enhance their physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth and development. The program builds a firm foundation for success in later school years.
At Discovery Time, your child will learn how to:
-
express thoughts, feelings and ideas;
-
manage his/her behaviour in a group setting;
-
cooperate, compromise, and show empathy;
-
become more independent; and
-
form lasting friendships.
