Welcome to
LCDS Preschool & Kindergarten

… where children grow and learn through play!

What is LCDS all about?

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 daily routine that blends play with teacher-directed learning, creating a balance between exploration and academic engagement, all with a focus on kindergarten readiness.

The classroom is led by a certificated teacher with a Bachelor’s degree in Education.

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 residing within Gateway Alliance Church.

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

Registration for Educational Supports

We believe that every child has unique strengths and needs, and we are committed to working with parents to provide a supportive learning environment within our current classroom staffing and structure.

It's important to note that in order to thrive in our program, children should be able to participate and function within the classroom setting and routine
with minimal ongoing support or intervention from the teachers.

While our program offers a supportive environment, it may not always be the best fit for every child, as some may require different levels of support or structure that cannot be provided. We encourage a collaborative conversation to determine the best fit for your child’s individual needs and to ensure success in the learning environment.

**LCDS currently does not have the ability to provide an individual educational assistant to an individual child.
