At A to Z Pre-School, we recognize that each child is unique and different and it is important to provide a variety of experiences that will nurture their body, mind, heart and spirit. We will provide children with a safe and warm environment where they feel comfortable to move, touch, manipulate and explore. These experiences will help each child gain confidence and have a positive self-image.

We are located at 404 - 4 Avenue North (full windows, lower level walkout of All Saints Anglican Church, Cochrane). Our outdoor grass area is used for numerous activities and has spectacular mountain and panoramic town views.
