History

 

Our  preschool, so named because of its location, held its first class in May of 1970 and was located in the Gordon Head United Church  on Torquay Drive. A small group of mothers headed by the first  president and the first teacher, organized and "begged, borrowed  and bought" materials to set up the first class of less than  15 children.

The school  grew to 30 children in 1971 and 45 soon after. By the end of  the school year 1972-73, the group had increased to sixty children.  The playground began to take shape when the fathers erected  the fence around the yard in the spring of 1973. In September  of 1983, the preschool packed up and followed the Gordon Head  United Church to its present location. The new grassy playground  soon became a muddy area and volunteer families worked together  to build yet another playground. The grass and mud were replaced  with bark chips and has been maintained that way to this day.  Fundraising has largely made it possible for the preschool to  constantly update and replace equipment both indoors and out  to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our children.

In 1994  Lambrick Park Preschool celebrated its 25th Anniversary with  a reunion and in 1999 Lambrick Park Preschool helped the VICPA  celebrate its 50th anniversary by holding another reunion that over 135 past students and parents attended.
