Field Trips

At Discovery Preschool, we aim for each class to participate in 2-3 field trips per year. In the past, these have ranged from trips to Wildflower Arts Centre (where children create their main piece for our annual art show fundraiser),  local libraries, Bow Habitat Station and Granary Road to name a few. Plus in-house visitors like Petland, yoga lessons, dental clinics, a police cruiser, ambulance and we even hosted our very own ducklings last year!

Parents/guardians are responsible for arranging transportation to and from each field trip unless a school bus has been provided by the preschool. Parents are given notice at least 1-2 weeks before the trip and have the option to opt their child out of the event as well.

Special In-House Events

Throughout the year we like to invite family and caregivers into our class to celebrate with us. Here’s a list of some of our common annual in-house events:

• Halloween Party

• Holiday Concert – followed by family activities

• Mother’s and Father’s Day events

• Monthly pizza party (children get to make their own pizzas)

• Christmas baking

• Year-End Wrap Up Party

• Annual year end Art Show

• Many more...

Outside Play

Weather dependent, we like to make regular trips to the park and local outdoors areas to let the kids learn and play outside! The children enjoy going on nature walks in Alexandria Park to visit the fairy garden/rocks.  Airplane Park in Currie is another favourite outdoor playground we like to visit!

Annual Year-End Art Show

This is our biggest fundraiser for the school and has become an annual event! Each child has a selection of special art pieces on display based on a theme picked at the beginning of the school year. It is an event for the whole family that is hosted outside school hours and is always a lot of fun!
