About Sidney Preschool's programs.

"Sidney Preschool offered not only a
clean, organized, safe place for our daughters to learn, explore, be creative, take risks,
and develop friendships, but also a place for myself to take
on new roles and responsibilities, learn about being a parent, and also to develop wonderful lasting friendships with
families who have
similar philosophies
on life as ours."

Kim Ainsworth How long have we been established? Since 1972 Dress code? Dress to play outside and in, as well as per the season. This is no fashion show. Comfort and practicality are a must. Indoor footwear? Yes, you must provide suitable slippers or shoes for indoor play. Allergies? The health and welfare of our children are of prime importance. All allergies and specific requirements will be respected and honored. Snacks? Children bring their own healthy, peanut-free snack. Big fun? Oh, yes!
Our experienced and nurturing ECE, Kim Ainsworth, is the heart of our program. Alongside her, each participating parent has an opportunity, once or twice a month, to be part of the program assisting Kim in the classroom. This is a special time to share with your own child and a chance to get to know your child's friends.
In our busy home lives, especially if we have other young children, being patient and understanding can be a challenge. The Co-op gives us a chance to celebrate our child's development in an environment best suited for learning through play. General monthly meetings allow us to participate in the management of the preschool. Our excellent parent education presentations cover a wide range of topics such as nutrition, sibling rivalry, effects of TV viewing on children, etc. They are an informative and engaging way to exercise our commitment to quality parenthood. A variety of positions and jobs enable each person to contribute their talents and strengths to the preschool. The great thing about Sidney Preschool is that everyone has an opportunity to participate and enjoy all it has to offer.
