Strathcona County offers programs for children on their preschool journey. Our indoor and outdoor spaces encourage children to interact with others while they explore, play and learn. Children take an active role in their learning with the support of our instructors.

Preschool guidelines and procedures

  • The instructor will greet you and your child and guide you through the drop-off process. A parent or guardian is required to sign-in and sign-out their child each day.

  • At preschool, we are committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for children to learn, play, and grow. Please keep your child at home if they experience any of the following:

    • A fever above 38C*
    • Diarrhea or vomiting
    • A persistent cough
    • A runny nose with yellow-green mucus
    • An undiagnosed rash.
    • Discharge from the eyes
    • A diagnosed infection*
    • Lethargic or listless
    • Generally unwell

    *Your child may return to class once they are fever free for 24hrs without the use of medication or if their diagnosed infection has been treated for a minimum of 48hrs.

    Please report any cases of communicable diseases which may be present in your home (ex. chicken pox, scarlet fever, whooping cough, measles, lice, etc.) to preschoolprograms@strathcona.ca.
     

  • Children must be fully toilet trained before starting unparented programs. For extra reassurance, little ones may wear a pull-up during program time. If an accident occurs, parents will be contacted to attend to any changing needs.

    What to bring to class:

    Ensure that all items outlined below are clearly labelled with your child’s name.

    • A backpack with indoor shoes and extra clothes.
    • A water bottle (all programs).
    • A small, nut free snack for half-day programs (3 hours).
    • A small, nut free snack and lunch for full-day camps (6 hours).
    • Appropriate clothing for outdoor play.
    • Please leave items like toys and blankets at home.

    Prepare for outdoor play:

    • Recommended winter wear:
      • Wear layers to allow for regulation of body temperature.
      • Choose a hat that covers the whole head, including the ears.
      • Appropriate footwear such as running shoes, rain boots, or winter boots.
      • Wear pants that are warm and waterproof. Snow pants are recommended for colder months and rain pants are recommended for rainy days.
      • Mittens are better than gloves for keeping hands warm, as fingers generate more heat when they are not separated.
    • Recommended summer wear:
      • Dress your child in layers to allow for regulation of body temperature. 
      • Open-toe shoes such as sandals are not permitted. 
      • Apply sunscreen and bug spray prior to drop-off. 
      • Bring a hat for additional sun protection.
