Welcome to Upper Lonsdale Preschool

Operating for over 70 years, Upper Lonsdale Preschool (ULP) is dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where children can explore, learn, and grow together through play.

Our child-centered, play-based program includes hands-on science adventures, baking exploration, discovery art, yoga, and lots of outdoor time! We believe in fostering curiosity and creativity in every child, providing them with a diverse range of experiences to inspire their learning journey. Read more about our program.

Our mission is simple: to offer a play-based program that fosters social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development in a safe and caring environment. Every child is welcomed, valued, and encouraged to build self-esteem and independence.

At ULP, we believe in the power of parent involvement. Rather than overwhelming commitments, we offer a flexible approach that allows parents to engage in ways that suit their schedules and preferences. From occasional event support to shaping the preschool’s vision, there’s a role for every family.

Join us in discovering the unique and exciting experiences that await your child and family at ULP. Come and see firsthand how we create a supportive community where every child can thrive.

At ULP we respectfully acknowledge that we work, play and learn on the unceded ancestral territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
