Our philospohy:

At Precious Gems we provide a safe, nurturing, and active learning environment that aids in growing children socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually.

An active learning environment consists of age appropriate "hands on" materials, supportive adult-child interactions, and a creative, consistent yet flexible daily routine. This approach enables young children to learn concepts, form ideas, and create their own symbols for abstractions through self-initiated activities.

Our goals:

• to provide activities that will challenge growth in all areas of child development.
• to aid in developing a strong foundation for future success in education.
• to facilitate in developing a healthy sense of self and others.
• to facilitate in developing a personal awareness of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Classes offered:

• Three/Four Year Old Class: consists of two classes per week (Tuesdays & Thursdays) from 9:00am to 11:30am. Cost is $100 per month plus $20 registration fee.

• Stepping into Kindergarten Class (for four year olds): consists of three classes per week (Monday, Wednesday, & Friday) from 9:00am to 12:30pm. Cost is $150 month plus $20 registration fee.

Our class sizes are kept small to allow each child one-on-one interaction with their teacher; class offerings are subject to enrollment.

Children must be three years of age at the time of enrollment and toilet trained.

A family discount of 10% is offered for two or more siblings (applies to monthly fee).

We welcome BC Child Care Subsidies.
