Play with Purpose
Our Preschool program provides the building blocks for learning core academic skills in reading, writing and math. At the same time, these young learners play…a lot. That’s because our teachers know that three to five year-olds learn best through imaginative, creative play that develops out of and expands each child’s own natural curiosity. We never forget that early childhood is a magical time of individual growth, discovery and development. So play—structured and unstructured—lies at the heart of all we do.

A Wider School Community
As part of the Annie Wright Schools community, three- and four-year-olds have access to expansive play areas, a variety of learning materials and equipment, musical instruments, an on-site swimming pool, the latest educational technology and more. These young learners also have opportunities to connect with older students and teachers from all divisions. Annie Wright values that children are best understood in the context of family, culture and society, and community-building is an important part of our program.
