Attending kindergarten was a seamless transition for the kids, as they already had friends in their class, and had developed so many social, speech and motor skills from preschool. Everything from learning to put on their own jackets and shoes, to cleaning up toys, to listening to the teacher and each other.

Lovely, caring teachers and a great, welcoming learning environment for our shy 3 1/2 year old daughter. She has thrived at Highland Park and we couldn’t recommend a better preschool. Going to the gym/upper hall for physical activity is a bonus too!

This preschool has so much to offer little learners. The teachers are very kind and patient. The best part of the programming here is the gym time. The open space to run and play is hard to find.

I couldn’t be happier with my choice to put my son here! The staff is amazing and the space is a great size for the kids.

My daughter has formed an attachment to all the teachers. She is very shy, so this shows how good they are at what they do.

I am sure that my son will be more prepared for kindergarten because of the wonderful teaching staff.

I want to express my gratitude to the teachers at Highland Park Preschool. They’re amazing at what they do. My son always comes home happy, and whenever I’ve helped out as a parent volunteer, I’ve seen how caring and dedicated they are. They create a great environment for the kids to learn and grow. They’re patient, creative, and really love teaching little ones. My son feels valued and supported in their class, and I’m so thankful for that.

Our 3 year old is halfway through his first year here. He loves the teachers: they spend their days doing crafts, games, sports, reading, learning etc. From a parent point of view they are miraculously punctual with pick up, drop off etc., and we love the reliability. The administration is fantastic and communications could not be better. We have also really enjoyed the Volunteer model, so we can have our chance to be part of the class once a month. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and dependable place to take their children.

This is a great community preschool. It is well-run and organized, very affordable, the teachers are kind and welcoming, and they offer fun, high-quality programming for 3 and 4 year olds. Both my children have attended or will be attending this preschool. The kids get to participate in various activities like circle time, crafts, snack and gym time in a large, bright, indoor gym. They also get outdoor time and my son was very excited to show me the seeds they had planted in their outdoor planters last spring. We would definitely recommend the school!

This preschool is everything we were looking for, and then some! The teachers are engaged and care about the students. Our daughter absolutely loves attending, and looks forward to school days. The classroom is large and well set up, with lots of activity items to play and learn with, and the gymnasium upstairs is an awesome bonus feature for the kids on cold days. The school has resources available for those families who might need extra support with certain aspects of their child’s development, such as speech or fine motor skills, etc., too. I highly recommend this preschool, and am glad we enrolled our daughter here.

I was so excited to find Highland Park Preschool for my children. It checked all the boxes I was looking for in a preschool for them: play-centred learning, strong parental involvement and affordability.

My children come home with adorable crafts and always tell me about their time in the gym, ‘dance parties’ and what they have learned. Preschool has helped them get excited about everything from reptiles to play doh, and they’re always excited to wake up on “preschool mornings” to see their teachers and friends. In only 2.5 months I’ve already noticed my children are sharing better, playing more independently, and doing things like taking off their shoes/jackets without my help. It’s awesome!

I would recommend Highland Park Preschool to any parents looking for a fun, safe, organized, affordable preschool for their child!

My son LOVES this preschool, and I love it even more! The teachers are a wealth of knowledge, they truly make the children feel like family! The purposeful play mentality has really focused on early childhood development - I’m so impressed! I love the fact that they view it as a family - with parent information nights, a lending library for weekly bedtime story books sent home and invitations to community events focused on the children (like the Skate Shack, Christmas Extravaganza, etc)!

I chose to have my daughter attend preschool this year because it was recommended by a paediatrician as part of her speech therapy. She has been in the 4 year old class since September and loves going to school. They always have fun and interesting activities planned for the kids and I love the small community feel there. The best part is that I have definitely noticed an improvement in her speech! I would definitely recommend this preschool.

My son loved coming to preschool here. He loved playing with other children and developed great social skills. The staff who work there are very friendly, caring and really seem to enjoy what they do. I would highly recommend it to prospective parents.
