Families can enrol their child through Niagara Region's Child Care Registry (OneHSN).

If there is space available we can get started on enrolling your child right away! Otherwise, you will be added directly to our waitlist.

We are excited to welcome your family to our community!

Grimsby Community Preschool first opened on September 21, 1971 - we have been an integral part of the community for over 50 years! We have had many members who attended Grimsby Community Preschool as children and are now bringing their children to the school!

The operation is overseen by the board of directors and the school’s Executive Director. We are licensed by the Ministry of Education - Early Learning Division and inspections are also done annually by the Niagara Regional Public Health Department and the Grimsby Fire Department. We have a Purchase of Service Agreement with the Niagara Region Childcare Division which supports us financially and in many other areas.

We encourage all perspective families to come by for a visit – we feel this is the best way to find out if our school is a good fit for your family. We ask that you please make an appointment by telephone prior to your visit.

Please contact us for current policies surrounding tours due to Covid-19.

We accept registrations until March of the current school year, as long as there is space available.

Of course! We encourage parents to come and visit the preschool whenever they like. We would, however, appreciate not more than two parents per class at a time. Please note, parents do not have unsupervised access to children in the preschool. *During ongoing enhanced safety surrounding Covid-19 visits will be suspended until further notice.

There are no duty days at Grimsby Community Preschool. This requirement, common in co-operative preschool environments, was eliminated in this organization a number of years ago to accommodate the needs of today’s modern family. We have staff in place to cover our ratios which is 1 adult to 8 children.
