There are many wonderful recreational, social, arts and cultural programs and services to keep you and your family active throughout the season. Mark your calendars for special events being offered – Halloween Party, Community Diwali Festival, Crys-tal Ball, Breakfast with Santa, Craft Fair, plus a Flu Clinic.

The Renfrew Park Community Association (RPCA) is a non-profit society made up of Volunteers who work jointly with Vancouver Park Board (VPB) to deliver programs/events and services. I would like to thank the VPB Community Centre Staff and RPCA Volunteers who have worked very hard to plan and put together a wide variety of programs for all age groups. Together we strive to offer quality and affordable programs/events and services that address community needs and enrich and improve the quality of life in the community. We wish to continue to engage the community and work together with it. We welcome your feedback on what is being offered or what you would like offered. We are fortunate to have many individuals stepping forward to volunteer and are always looking for new volunteers to share their time, energy, and ideas.

September 2016-June 2017Our program develops independence, self-help skills, co-operation and positive social
interactions. We believe that each day is a learning experience for the child. Our daily schedule consists of both structured and non-structured activities, preparing each child to become confident and ready for entry into the elementary school system.
Daily activities include free play where children have a choice of activities (ie. sand and water play, play-dough, dress up, puzzles, manipulatives), arts & crafts, structured group circle time/story time and physical activities (ie. walks in the neighbourhood, walks in the trails and activities in our playground).
We encourage all children to reach their full potential within an environment that provides opportunities for optimal social, emotional, physical and intellectual development.
For children 3-5 years old. Children must be toilet trained and of age during the month they register.
The licensed preschool runs from Sept-JuneFor information phone: (604) 257-8391email: [email protected]
