A new chapter for Oak Bay Preschool

For more than 50 years, Oak Bay Preschool has been part of the fabric of the Oak Bay community. We are delighted to carry that legacy forward.

What stays the same

The warmth, creativity and belonging that families have always valued remain at the heart of everything we do. Our approach builds on Oak Bay Preschool’s Reggio Emilia-inspired, child-led traditions: children learn through relationships, imaginative play, hands-on discovery and the invitation to follow their own questions.

We’re also delighted that Keira Pinchbeck, Oak Bay Preschool’s experienced Early Childhood Educator and a familiar face to many local families, continues as part of our team.

What’s new

We are enriching the opportunities available to young learners, with:

Flexible sessions: mornings (9am – 12noon), afternoons (12noon – 3pm) or full days (9am – 3pm).
A July summer camp, in addition to our September to June programme.
Rich outdoor learning in our attached outdoor classroom, through every season.
Purposeful inquiry, where everyday discoveries grow into early science, literacy and mathematics.

We are not simply teaching children what to think; we are nurturing their ability to ask questions, investigate possibilities and discover answers for themselves.
