"My child had such a lovely time at Little Oak. The preschool program prepared her well for kindergarten. She has many fond memories of her preschool friends and her caring preschool teacher."                     Joleen Bailleul, Vernon  
​​​​
"I am a very busy mom of three girls aged 4, 6 and 8. I never have time to sit down with my youngest to teach her as I did with my older children, and yet she surprises me every week with a new outstanding achievement, like printing her name, reading some short words, knowing astonishing facts about nature, or using scissors as a 'pro', all of it learned at Little Oak. Sally Towers is the best doorway to a successful, happy, confident entrance to Kindergarten. Do not let yourself be cheated by her unassuming natural approach... SHE IS THE BEST."                                    Charo Lloret. Vernon, BC








Focus ​when interacting with children:
​" I build a child's confidence by selecting tasks that match his or her developmental level. I provide a variety of activities to spark their interest and engage them.

​​​I  observe the child’s experience in different tasks and try to broaden it.  I support the child in a way that develops trust. "
