Smithville, Dunnville, Grassie, and Vineland Christian Preschools are incorporated under the name Your Preschools Inc. (YPI). Each location still has its own name and our high quality program remains the same. 

The environment of the Montessori classroom is designed to support the child’s natural development. The Montessori tools allow for self directed learning with child-sized materials that are attractive and purposeful. For example; sandpaper letters, sign language, and French are all ways to incorporate language into the classroom. 

Our preschools offer a Montessori curriculum, qualified educators, security to boost the child’s self-confidence, assessments of child development, and much more. Values such as love, patience, and respect enhance your child’s foundation and strengthen their faith. We talk freely about God creating us and loving us while keeping with our culture of inclusiveness. We are honoured to serve all families regardless of their faith. 

We have four locations to serve you. Our Smithville school is located at the historical train station at 288 Station Street and our Dunnville school is in the home of the former Dunnville Central Public school at 121 Alder Street West, our Grassie location is nestled in Grassie Gospel Church at 504 Mud Street and our Vineland school is situated in Twenty Valley Church at 3994 Victoria Avenue.

All of our schools accept children ages two through Senior Kindergarten. Our Dunnville School also has a toddler room for children 18 months and up.
