Inglewood Bird Sanctuary Seasonal preschool
Inglewood Seasonal Preschool Program
Help your child learn to be a friend of nature through a variety of outdoor and indoor activities that emphasize social, physical, creative, intellectual and emotional development and awareness with the guidance of qualified and experienced instructors.
Nature-based learning
Inglewood Bird Sanctuary is the perfect location for a nature-based preschool, complete with a learning centre, interpretive exhibits and a nature preserve filled with flora and fauna.
