Outdoor Preschool

The natural areas of the 600 acre Ignatius Jesuit Centre allow children the opportunity to explore, discover, create and understand the natural world and their place within it. 

The creative process of learning continues inside our fully-equipped indoor classrooms and facilities, bringing the outside in.

Our outdoor preschool programming offers children the opportunity;

  • to gain social and emotional confidence,

  • to explore math and science in context,

  • to gain experiences in early literacy, music, art, dramatic play, cooking and much more.

Children are also nurtured through our school food program.  Every day students and teachers enjoy a freshly prepared organic, seasonal three-course lunch and two snacks from our school kitchen.

Choosing a school is a big decision. We encourage you to reach out, get a feel for our school, and ask questions. There is no obligation.
