Lil SAINTS PRESCHOOL
Activities
At Lil Saints Early Learning Center we provide an environment where students engage in intentional, investigative play. Opportunity is provided for children to participate in both self-directed and teacher-led activities throughout class time. Lil Saints students participate in a variety of creative activities planned around specific themes that are enhanced by Christian concepts and values. Children are also given the opportunity for creative exploration using a variety of materials for open ended activities.
​
Throughout class time children have opportunity to develop problem solving skills and social skills during free choice play activities. Teachers offer support as needed to help children find appropriate resolutions to conflict and encourage critical thinking skills to enhance play.
PRESCHOOL CLASSES
Many students participate in a two year program as our 4 year old program builds from the curriculum in our three year old program. For example, our 3 year old program introduces the children to the different letters in the alphabet and their sounds, while our 4 year old program introduces them to phonics and pre-reading skills. We recommend taking advantage of both our programs as they work together to give your child the best start to their school career.

Tuition
Lil Saints Early Learning Center operates as a self-supporting and educational non-profit outreach of Saints Church Glastonbury. It is financed completely by tuition receipts.
Tuition fees are determined by a yearly cost divided by 10 equal payments for each month of the school year. For the term September to June, tuition for each child is:
-
Age 3 – $155.00 per month
-
Age 4 – $200.00 per month
-
Fees are not adjusted for non-attendance.
-
There will be no refunds after May 1st.
Due to the Canada-Alberta Canada Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, the preschool will receive Affordability Grant Agreement funding in the amount of $100 per child, per month. This amount will be deducted from the above tuition fees resulting in a reduced parent portion.​
