HISTORY
The Heather Bible Chapel Preschool is operated and sponsored by Heather Bible Chapel and is a government licensed and inspected facility. The preschool was established by Heather Bible Chapel in 1976 as a service to the community.

PHILOSOPHY
We believe that:
• Parents are the primary educators of their children spiritually, physically, emotionally, academically, and socially.
• Each child is a unique, valuable person.
• God loves each person unconditionally.
• Children learn through play and interaction with teachers and peers.

OUR GOALS
• To teach children that God loves them.
• To teach children to respect and value themselves and others.
• To observe each child and provide for their individual and developmental needs as effectively as possible.
• To encourage creativity in all aspects of the program.
• To provide experiences which are stimulating and challenging.
• To work closely with parents and be supportive of the family.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
We have an open door policy at Heather Chapel Preschool. While we do not have a formal parent participation program you are most welcome to visit during the day and participate in special celebrations throughout the year. If any parents could help with a particular theme or learning unit you can let the staff know.

DISCIPLINE
We use the approaches of problem solving, natural and logical consequences, and children will be given choices and realistic limits so they will feel secure. In the event of a conflict, children are encouraged to talk to each other about their feelings and solve issues with a teachers’ support. Children may also be asked to choose another activity. If a persistent problem arises we will consult with parents and children together to reach a solution for home and school.

OUR STAFF
The staff of Heather Chapel Preschool are trained in Early Childhood Education and licensed with the province of British Columbia. The staff also maintains a valid first aid certificate and take workshop courses to upgrade their education.

PRESCHOOL CALENDAR
The preschool follows the public school calendar. Classes begin after Labour Day and end in the third week of June. Options are Mon-Wed-Fri classes or Tue-Thu classes. We observe all Statutory Holidays as well as school holidays such as Christmas and Spring Break. Children may enroll at any time during the calendar year.
