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.
School Closure - COVID-19 and Registration
During this unprecedented time, our school has had to close due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. Presently, Alberta Health Services has been providing updated information for re-opening in September. As we have reached phase 2, we are able to open in September with our normal enrollment numbers and additional safety and sanitizing measures.
The school office has closed for the summer on June 12, 2020. The school office will re-open on August 24, 2020.
We are still accepting registrations for September for the afternoon class, the morning class is presently full with a wait list.
If you would like to contact us regarding registration for your child, you may send us an email or leave a phone message and one of our volunteer members will contact you.
Due to the small nature of our program, there are no guarantees for a spot. All registrations are on a first come, first serve basis.
Your child must be 3 years of age before they can attend and fully independent in the washroom stall.
For Kindergarten eligibility in the province of Alberta, your child must turn 5 years old before December 31st of the coming school year.
