Helping your child thrive
Our preschool-aged programs follow the HighScope concept; an active learning approach to educating young children that has proven to enhance development. Children are provided with a wide range of materials to expand their learning. The Early Childhood Educators plan experiences for children that encourage independent thinking, initiative and creativity.
Cost
Dandelions and Dragonflies is now a $10 a Day ChildCareBC Centre and caps monthly fees at $200 per month. Please visit our $10 a Day ChildCareBC Program page for more info. See Fee Schedule.
The fees for our Garibaldi Highland preschool-age program and our Brackendale preschool-age program are based on how much time your child is in the program.
