Who We Are
Who are we
At Arcola East preschool we pride ourselves in implementing a learning-through-play philosophy. This type of program allows children to learn to make sense of the world around them. Through a play-based curriculum, children develop imagination, social and cognitive skills, they mature emotionally and gain the self-confidence required to problem solve, make decisions and work with others.
Morning classes will have a maximum of 20 kids. Afternoon classes have a maximum of 15 children. All classes are led by two teaching staff. Our day consists of calendar, craft, free play ( both fine and gross motor) snack and story/song time.
We celebrate special days such as Easter, Halloween, Birthdays, etc., as well as fun theme days like Colour or Silly Hat days. We are always open to learning and celebrating things that may not be as common to all of us, such as Chinese New Year.
All children must be potty trained and be three years old by September 2023.

Testimonials
"I am very much thankful for AECA preschool for providing a fun, learning environment for my son and for the rest of the Tuesday and Thursday class. I can still remember last year when I first met Nichole and Amanda, they were so friendly and accomodating, my son was so at home that he didn't even cry when I left him. I can say that [my son] improved a lot when it comes in social interaction, he is always excited to go to school to play and learn with his friends.
“Arcola East Community Pre-school is very welcoming. They have a bright classroom so the kids can get a lot of natural sunlight during the day. They rotate their themes every month so the kids always have fun and get excited to go to the school. More importantly, Ms Nicole and Ms Amanda are absolutely incredible teachers. They are so kind, patient, and caring. My daughter has speech delays and can’t fully express herself yet. Both teachers are very encouraging and amazing to her. My daughter has started to talk more and uses her strong voice. We can’t be more grateful for the teachers and highly recommend this school for other families.”
"Both of our children have attended AECA preschool and we’ve found the teachers very welcoming and nurturing. We feel fortunate to have this great preschool in our neighbourhood!”
“Our four children have had the pleasure of attending the Arcola East Preschool from years 2016 to 2022. Our experience has been very positive with beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. The teachers are absolutely amazing. You will not find more creative, caring, and supportive teachers. These highly experienced teachers have helped prepare our children for kindergarten using the learning-through-play philosophy and this has made such a transition easy. Our children have such wonderful memories of their time at this preschool and still talk about them to this day. I would highly recommend sending your children to the Arcola East Preschool. Thank you, Ms. Nichole and Ms. Amanda, for being such positive influences in our children’s lives, we feel truly blessed”
