Hello and welcome to the Elora Co-operative Preschool!

We are a small school with a proud history in the community of Elora. The Elora Co-op Preschool is a long-standing Centre Wellington institution, cherished by local families for over 50 years and we are now teaching the children of our past students. Whether you are new to our community, or have been here awhile we welcome you and all children within our community.

The Preschool is a co-operative school that is run by its membership and educators. All families that attend the preschool play an important role for the daily function and direction. We are excited to have you join this amazing community that has been created within our preschool. The preschool runs from September to June, and follows the same holiday schedule as the UGDSB. We remain open on PD days but are closed on statutory holidays, over the Christmas Break as well as March break.

The Preschool has 4 different classes that run each week.
