Fundraising
Fundraising makes up a portion of Discovery Preschool's yearly budget. We use the funds collected for art and craft supplies, to purchase educational toys and games, and make repairs around the school.
Please email fundraising@discoverypreschoolyyc.com if you have any questions.
A shoutout to some of our donors:
Without a doubt, the biggest fundraiser for our preschool is the Annual Year-End Art Show. This event showcases a selection of art pieces made by each student throughout the year that is 'up for auction'.
Following are businesses who have generously contributed to our event in the past to make it a success!
Heritage Park donated a dinner and evening tour for two at our 2023 event.
In June 2022, Discovery Preschool moved to a new location. To assist in making the new space our own, we had an amazing donation of new flooring from Better. Development Corp. Parents made this flooring upgrade happen, and we are so thankful for all the support we’ve seen during this move!

Every other month the preschool holds a pizza day. Families can opt to purchase pizza for snack time instead of bringing their own snack from home. It's a fun treat for the kids and a great fundraiser for the school!
Each fall, Discovery Preschool partners with Farm to School to sell vegetable bundles. Farm to School is a non-profit organization that ships Canadian grown vegetables at or below supermarket prices right to us. Additionally, Farm to School has joined with Food Banks Alberta, which means participants can also have a chance to support local food banks. Customers have the option of purchasing an extra bundle, or donating their vegetable bundle to a food bank (Farm to School will deliver donated vegetables to the food bank). This is a great, local initiative to support, and best of all 50% of the total sales go back to Discovery Preschool.
