About Us

Pine Ridge Nursery School (PRNS) opened in October 1994. 
Our philosophy stems from the belief that children are “competent, capable, curious and rich in potential”. We believe that children learn best through active play and when they are having fun!

 Message from the Director

Welcome!

Hello to all new and returning families! There are still spots available in some of our programs and children can join at any point in the school year.

Pine Ridge Nursery School Wait List

Complete and submit the form (hosted on Google forms) for the school year in which your child will be eligible to attend. Children must be at least 24 months of age by their start date. We primarily offer half-day preschool programs, with flexible, extended care options. Please note that our licence permits us to provide care for less than six hours per day. Click here for more information.

Daily Health Check

Parents should monitor children daily for signs of illness. If your child is sick, keep him/her home and report the absence. Do not send your child back to school until there has been a 48-hour period with no fever or gastro symptoms and any other symptoms are significantly improving. Staff are continuously assessing themselves and the children in attendance for signs of illness. Parents may be called to pick up their children if necessary.

We have best routine practices in place for infection prevention and control in the school and remain committed to prioritizing the health and well-being of children, families, and staff.
