About Us
Oak Bay Preschool is a parent-owned school, using a play-based curriculum that:
- provides social and play experiences with children their own age
- supports the development of the whole child – socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually
- allows for the recognition of each child’s unique learning style, abilities, and developmental level
- encourages curiosity and creativity
- allows for hands on learning, where the curriculum can emerge from the children’s interests, needs and desires; making learning concrete and meaningful
- provides the experience of having parent and child mutually sharing and participating in the school’s activities
- includes regular fieldtrips to Goldstream Park during the salmon run, Galey Farms, Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary, and Oak Bay Public Library to name a few
- enjoys in-house visits from Victoria Conservatory of Music, Swan Lake Nature Programs, Community Liasons-Police, Children's Librarian from Oak Bay Public Library and Victoria Compost Center
