Children's Orchard Russian Exposure Preschool

The preschool has an early childhood education teaching team consisting of at least one licensed early childhood educator. The teachers work together to plan and provide the children’s education program. We are fortunate to have highly professional staff with experience and educational training in child development and early learning theories. Located in the lower level of the Brilliant Cultural Centre, this preschool is designed for, and open to, ALL children who meet the age requirements mentioned below. It will provide a comfortable level of achievement for any child, whether they are planning to enter a primary/elementary education second-language bilingual program or not. The teachers throughout the class speak the Russian language as much as possible. The children will be introduced to the Russian alphabet, colours, numbers, etc. The West Kootenay Region has a rich cultural heritage, which can be explored through this preschool. Classes consist of children from the ages of three to five years (children must be three years old by December 31st and children must be toilet trained, as we do not have the facilities for regular diaper changing). Classes commence in mid-September and end in mid-June.
