Discovery time preschool
Discovery Time Preschool is a preschool for children ages 3-5. It has operated in the Westmount neighbourhood of Edmonton, Canada for over 25 years, offering programs based on a Learning through Play approach (aimed at fostering natural curiosity, growth and development) and a "literature-rich
environment in which quality books are read daily and are incorporated into all themes and activities."
Discovery Time is run as a non-profit preschool, meaning that all school fees go toward programming costs; none are taken by shareholders as profits. This results in improved performance; non-profit early learning centres consistently obtain higher quality ratings than do for-profit centres.
Discovery Time is also run as a co-operative, meaning that parents are in control of the preschool. A Board of Directors, elected by parent members, is responsible for hiring and directing teaching staff, and all significant operational decisions. This structure results in greater parent engagement and improved participation in fundraising and special events, and allows parents to observe day-to-day operations at the preschool.
