Playshare Pre-school Society

Playshare Pre-School is a community gem located in beautiful downtown Penticton. We are a licensed non-profit preschool managed by our parent membership and its elected executive board. Parents support the preschool by serving on the board (meetings every 2 months), contributing skills and/or helping in fundraising efforts. The preschool opened in the early 1980s and is now happily serving a second generation of children. Qualified ECE teachers deliver a unique play-based early childhood program in a calm and welcoming classroom. Our indoor gym is a big open space where children can zoom or bike around a track, have fun on the trampoline and climber, as well as, enjoy play centres and dress-up. Through stimulating play, we nurture growth in self-confidence, responsibility and a love for learning. Childhood only happens once in a lifetime.

Learning Through Play Play is the great motivating force in a young childs learning; children learn best through play. We create opportunities for playful hands-on exploration of the fascinating world of arts and science through our classroom centres, because children learn more when they are playing. Play develops childrens creativity and problem solving skills. Play is healthy. It promotes strength, coordination and brain development. Play teaches new skills and builds childrens self-esteem. Play teaches children social skills that help them develop friendships. Play allows children the opportunity to develop speech, language and listening skills. Children talk and listen while they play. The more vocabulary a child is exposed to on a day-to-day basis, the greater the variety of words a child will incorporate into play. Play improves cognitive development - children who engage in pretend play tend to have more sophisticated levels of interaction with others. Play helps to promote the development of social skills. Children who play with their parents and peers learn how relationships work through their play experiences. Many people dont realize that social skills are a vital part of language development. Language is so much more than simply spoken words!
