Parent Preschool

Parent Preschool

The Parent Preschool Program of Southwestern Alberta has been educating, stimulating and entertaining children since 1989.

The Preschool Program offers a free, high-quality early childhood education program for children age 16 months to 5 years.

It includes an informative and exciting speaker program for parents and caregivers.

Parent Preschool Program (PPP) is a board guided program with parent representation from each community group, Lethbridge College, and Barons-Eureka-Warner Family and Community Support Services.

The Preschool Program acts as a practicum lab site for the Lethbridge College Early Childhood Education program. The students are supervised by a Child Development Professional. Together, they organize the children’s play stations and activities.

Children’s Program

The Program is open to children between the ages of 16 months and 5 years.

The Program is based on ‘learning through play’ philosophy. It focuses on the development of the whole child. Each week, different activities are planned to stimulate the children using the ‘Spice’ recipe.

S = Social

P = Physical

I = Intellectual

C = Creative

E = Emotional

Water tables, kitchen centres, sand tables, art centres, reading corners, science centres and much more create a fun and exciting learning atmosphere.

The Child Development Professional and college students introduce new vocabulary, recognize new discoveries and provide positive guidance for the children.

Children receive a nutritious snack provided by the parents.

Parent Preschool provides parents the opportunity to observe their child’s play and generate ideas for age appropriate activities that can be implemented at home.

Parent and Caregivers

Parents and caregivers participate in an interactive speaker program. Parents include parenting, personal growth and wellness, relationship issues, child safety, community issues and home developing ideas.

PPP provides a unique network for parents and caregivers. It is a great way to meet new people and develop friendships in your own community.

PPP provides parents and caregivers the opportunity to witness and participate in their child’s growth and development.
