Kids' Time Out Play Program is a registered non profit society and provincially licensed cooperative preschool for 3-5 year old children. Our program provides an enriched learning environment that has helped countless students. Kids Time Out Play Program will help foster your child's social skills, independence, and sense of responsibility to assist in their adjustment to Kindergarten. Children's visual, verbal, listening, intellectual and motor skills are stimulated through various learning games, daily crafts, as well as play, which has been noted by early childhood educators as the best way for children to learn.
Founded 40 years ago, the preschool is located in Cold Lake North and reflects the diverse backgrounds and cultures of the area. We’re extremely proud of our students and staff, who are always eager to learn, create and grow together.
