Welcome to Lakehill Preschool

Lakehill Co-operative Preschool

At Lakehill Co-operative Preschool, we believe that early learning should be a fun, engaging, and meaningful experience for both children and parents. Established in 1973 and located in Saanich, near the corner of Cedar Hill Cross Road and Cedar Hill Road, our co-operative preschool has been bringing together local families for over 50 years!

As a co-operative preschool, we emphasize active parent participation. Parents are encouraged to engage in their child’s education—whether by volunteering in the classroom or contributing their unique skills and talents. This hands-on approach enriches the learning experience for children and fosters a strong sense of community among families.

By working together, parents and teachers form a dynamic partnership that nurtures the growth and development of each child. Parent participation not only helps to reduce costs but also allows parents to play a hands-on role in their child's early education journey.

Join us at Lakehill Co-operative Preschool, where we celebrate the joy of learning, creativity, and community through active parent involvement. Discover a welcoming environment where children thrive, parents connect, and lifelong friendships are built.
