Early Education Programs for Preschool-aged Children

Lethbridge School Division offers Early Education Programs that are developed on a hands-on, play-based, developmentally appropriate approach that recognizes that children learn from one another as well as responsive adults. Our programs provide a strong foundation in speech and language skills, as well as other areas of development, that allow children to learn alongside their peers. Children gain independence through proactive support and planning.

Parents may register children for an Early Education Program if they are four years old by Dec. 31 of the school year they are entering.  Children that are three by December 31, experiencing a severe developmental delay that meets Alberta Education criteria, are also accepted. Children are required to be fully toilet trained with some exceptions made for children with identified delays or medical needs.
