About Us
LCDS Preschool & Kindergarten (formerly Londonderry Child Development Society) was established in North Edmonton in 1972 by a group of parents who wanted an early learning program in their community for their young children. They wanted to be actively involved in their children's education and they believed that learning should be fun.
LCDS is a Parent Cooperative, program and is a registered not-for-profit organization established under the Societies Act of Alberta. We are licensed and registered with Alberta Child and Family Services, Alberta Education and the City of Edmonton. We are proud to be members of the Association of Independent Schools & Colleges in Alberta and the Northern Alberta Preschool Teachers Association.
