Located in the scenic rural community of Balfour inside the Balfour Covenant Church, Balfour Community Preschool offers a rich, nature-infused program guided by Christian principles. Children thrive in this nurturing, play-based setting where outdoor adventures are central to the day. From ferry landing walks along Kootenay Lake to gardening, forest play, and visits with local farm animals, each experience helps children connect with the land, their community, and each other. The preschool supports early childhood development while preparing children for a smooth and confident transition into kindergarten.
