Reviews
St Giles Parent Participation Preschool is fabulous. My daughter has been attending since they moved to their beautiful, sunny new location in September. It is so nice to see my daughter make friends of her choosing and learn how to play alongside other children. I like that the school is play based and that the kids have so much to explore and that they can just play and just act like little kids. For me as a parent, it has been extremely helpful in helping us have a community of like minded parents and same aged kids around us which can be hard to find in a big city.
My son loves St. Giles. It is the perfect balance between early education and letting kids be kids through play. The teachers are wonderful and have been with the school for many years. The space is warm and inviting — room for kids of all sizes and personalities — and the parent education is invaluable to our family. We feel extremely lucky to have found St. Giles and the other caring familes of the St. Giles community. I would also mention that despite the name, this preschool has no religious affiliation. Families from all backgrounds are welcome.
A fantastic play based preschool with great resources, caring and attentive teachers and a very welcoming community of parents and families. Highly recommended!
Cannot recommend the preschool and the teachers enough. My daughter just loves her teachers and all her classmates and she is learning so much.
