Our preschool is open on regular school days (Monday to Friday) based on the Rose-des-Vents calendar from 8:30am to 4pm with a mixed age group.

Parents or guardians are responsible for dropping off their children at preschool and picking them up at the end of class. 

Please note that the classroom opens at 8:30am and closes at 4:00pm exactly. Parents are asked to sign the attendance sheet at drop off and pick up, and to pick their children up on time.
