The provincial government has placed Parent Participation Preschools under the jurisdiction of the Community Care Facilities Licensing Act. In order to be a member of the Council of Parent Participation Preschools and to protect the quality of care children receive in all such preschools, it is required by childcare licensing that all persons who participate (assist) in any daycare or preschool center must have adequate knowledge of children.
Vancouver Bilingual is unique among area preschools in combining an excellent preschool education with bilingual instruction in both English and French. It is the perfect start to French immersion!
My eldest son went to this preschool for 2 years, and we loved it so much, we were thrilled to enroll his younger sister as well. Even with a change in teachers (one retired), we have found consistent warmth and care given. My son has gone on to excel in French immersion, and my daughter sings songs to herself as well as with her brother every day. The teachers are gentle, caring, and clearly love their work. I cannot speak highly enough of them or of our experience with this school.Read more
