Ermineskin Community Preschool is a parent-owned, parent-operated cooperative within the Ermineskin Community League. We are a non-profit organization, with all funds going back into the preschool. We are licensed for a maximum of 18 children per class. Vacancies during the school year are filled from the waiting list on a “first-come, first-served” basis, with priorities as established by the Ermineskin Community Preschool policies.
As your child grows and becomes more aware of the surrounding world, he or she will enjoy and benefit from socialization with his or her peers. Ermineskin Community Preschool meets these socialization needs by allowing children in our community to meet and play together.
The Preschool aims to be a fun and happy place for your child. We want him or her to be comfortable here, and we want you, the parents, to be comfortable with the school too. We hope you and your child will make good friends through your association with Ermineskin Community Preschool.
