Our Play-Based Program

St. Giles is a creative, play-based program for children aged 2 and a half to five years old. The program is based on a balance of activity; both self-directed and adult-directed. The program is flexible, encouraging a flow from one activity to another.

Our program is based on meeting the needs of all the children, while at the same time meeting individual needs. A child’s choice of activities is based on varying interests and individual needs.

Teachers work together with the duty parents to provide the current outdoor mixed age program.

The Space

After 4 years with Queen Elizabeth Park as a home base, we are delighted to have found a new home at St Phillips Church in Dunbar Village. 

There are beautiful outdoor spaces in the neighborhood for adventures and free range play.

Come explore with us!

Program Enrichment

We are utilizing nature and our amazing parents to enrich our program.

We also organize numerous program enrichment activities, including visits from community members such as police officers and firefighters as well as trips to Queen Elizabeth Park and Jericho Beach. 

I love the fact that my children can get into such huge and creative, artistic, productive messes at preschool and come away from it so enriched. The teachers at St Giles are exceptionally brave and ambitious in the sensory activities that they introduce- I don’t know any other preschool program in the city as rich and varied as this one.
