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 the fire hall,  Chinook Honey Company, and Granary Road, to in-house visitors like ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation), yoga lessons, and a soccer coach!

A caregiver is always welcome to attend field trips and for travel we also coordinate car pooling if needed. 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:

Outside Play

Weather pending we like to make regular trips to the park and local outdoors to let the kids learn and play outside! The Gully near the Shaganappi Community Hall is a favourite outdoor field trip we take!

Annual Year-End Art Show

This is our big fundraiser for the school where each child has a selection of special art pieces on display for silent auction. It is an event for the whole family that is hosted outside school hours and is always a lot of fun!

Social Events

Each year, we host a Welcome Parent Social in November. It's a fun night out without kids and builds on our value of community by introducing parents to each other and our board members. In 2022 we hosted the event at the Dorset Pub & Eatery. 

In February 2023, we introduced a Parent and Kids Social - an outdoor skating party! We rented the outdoor ice rink at the Killarney-Glengarry Community Hall and spent the afternoon skating, roasting marshmallows and playing in the snow. All family members were invited!
