It is with the vision that all children grow each day with a sense of confidence and pride, wondering and taking risks to make meaning about the world around them, that we designed and built our little preschoolhouse.

Licensenced with the Ministry of Education, Weybourne is a Reggio-inspired preschool (12 months - 4 years), at Yonge and Lawrence (east-near Bedford Park P.S). We are not in a commercial building, but in a residential house with a fully-fenced play space. We are uniquely located close to Locke Library, Wanless Park with a toddler playground, and the beautiful nature walks of Alexmuir gardens.

Highly Trained Staff.
Staff are trained professionals and are certified, licensed teachers and Early Childhood Educators. Sue has 18 years experience in early childhood classrooms in Toronto's school board. This means she is trained to create a safe and stimulating environment for your child to enjoy and develop in.

There is no typical day at Weybourne because each day should bring new understanding and learning.

We have been particularly careful in the selection of our toys and materials. We proudly carry HABA and GRIMMS Waldorf toys that excel in quality, craftsmanship and safety where only non-toxic, water-based paints and lacquers are used.

We are especially happy about our eco-friendly classroom because we know how many children suffer from allergies and environmental toxins. We have installed an air system with HEPA filters with captures 99.97% of all dust and particles as small as 0.3 micron (1 human hair = 150 microns). They help reduce allergy symptoms, asthma, recurring colds and persistent coughs. In fact, HEPA filters are so effective, they're used in hospital operating rooms.

Our cork floors provide a surface that's resistant to allergens such as dust mites, pet dander and pollen and is also resistant to mold and mildew for children who love to play on the ground. Cork is unique in that it naturally contains suberin, a substance that deters pests such as mites and cockroaches. Cork flooring does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

We would be happy to share in your child's learning at the little preschoolhouse.
