Welcome to
LCDS Preschool & Kindergarten

… where children grow and learn through play!

LCDS Preschool & Kindergarten Program is a not for profit, early childhood education program, welcoming children aged 3 to 5 years of age from our surrounding neighborhoods and outside Edmonton communities.

We offer a structured routine incorporating free play and teacher led learning focusing on kindergarten readiness.

LCDS has been operating since 1972 in the north Edmonton community. The program was originally located within M.E. Lazerte High School, relocating in the Griesbach neighborhood and presently within Gateway Alliance Church.

Parent Involvement plays a key role in the success and quality of the program.

Parent Feedback

I love this preschool! The program is focused on learning, and the day is consistent and well organized. The students learn about different themes each month, and just finished learning about different countries around the world. Each country offered them a country-themed snack, as well as they had their "house" turn into an airplane. They were given passports which were stamped each day. I loved it! My son has learned so much, including how to write his name, cut with scissors following lines, patterns, and understanding the days of the week.

LCDS is an exemplary program for early learning and kindergarten. In class instruction includes both structured and creative learning opportunities for all students. Their wonderful teacher is supported by two full time EAs and we couldn’t be happier with our daughter’s experience!

We looked at many pre schools, and stopped looking after coming across LCDS. My child has been learning so much through play, and throughly enjoys each day he goes. The level of safety in regards to COVID has been amazing, and makes me feel safe keeping my child in school.
