'Acceptance'
North Douglas Preschool has offered quality early childhood care and education to the families of Victoria for 14 years. Since it's beginning as a one-room room morning class our little school has blossomed to employ three classrooms and seven qualified staff members, morning and afternoon.
Key to the growth and success of North Douglas Preschool has been an underpinning spirit of acceptance. We believe that each and every child must be accepted first as an individual; and that by appreciating, validating, accepting and supporting children and their families for who they are at this moment ... we take the critical first step toward helping them grow into being all that they can be.

Mission Statement
North Douglas Preschool exists to provide a holistic learning environment which will support very young children in the development of the skills and strengths necessary to provide a foundation for lifelong learning. Our program is designed to allow children to learn and develop at their own rate while enjoying the activities that they love best.
The Preschool operates as a non-profit entity under the direction of the board of North Douglas Child Care Society. It is a fully licensed facility and regulated by the Vancouver Island Health Authority.
Like all other programs dedicated to children and youth at North Douglas Church, the Preschool operates within the guidelines of the church's official ‘Child Protection Policy’.
