Welcome to the Vivo Preschool!
Upcoming Open House Events
Vivo is hosting two open house events for parents interested in what our preschool has to offer, or for families who have registered and want a preview of what’s to come for their little one. Join us to see the Curiosity and Courage Labs in action!
At Vivo’s preschool, we’ll nurture your little one to become an active learner! We’ll help your child develop a growth mindset through a mix of fun activities that encourage curiosity and trying new things. Your kids will spend an hour being physically active every single class, helping them develop a strong foundation of physical confidence, risk assessment, and gross motor development.
Our preschool educators are passionate about child development. From September to June they design and facilitate special events, outdoor adventures and other activities that support the physical, mental and emotional development of your child. Your kids will participate in art, music, physical activity, dramatic play, early literacy, sensory play and more!
A one-time registration fee of $200 is required upon enrollment. It covers all administrative fees and school supplies for the entire school year. Monthly fees vary depending on the number of days per week that you register your child; each class is three hours long.

Testimonials
“Lina really enjoyed her time with you and Ms. Sanya. You left Lina with enjoyable memories of during a special time. She liked her own online “meeting” with you and other kids in June and she enjoyed arts, crafts, and playground time in your centre. The only thing she felt sorry was that the time in your centre was too short 😉. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your considerate planning of safe and fun activities and thanks for the photo!” ~ Ling, Parent
