Village, introduces children to the world of literature, art and drama through creative and dramatic play.

Grand Boulevard Preschool is one of If parent participation preschools on the North Shore and all are part of a provincial network of preschools. The school is a non-profit society. Unlike

commercially operated preschools, parents are completely responsible

. for the administration and opera-

tion of the school.

- qualified preschool teacher.

Many of. the parents associated

with the preschool work outside -

Grand Boulevard Preschool! is located in the Queensbury Elementary School, 2020 Moody St., North Vancouver. For infor- mation on Theatrics, call Mason at 986-3318.
