Coronavirus Updates

To all our wonderful parents,

We have tried our very best to remain open as long as possible to support children of frontline workers, however we have now reached a point where we need to close for the time being.

I would like to thank all of our families for their emails and our Pre-school Committee for their on-going support during this unprecedented time.

We have loved working with your children and will miss them while Brampton & Hilltop Pre-Schools remain closed. 

I hope that you all remain safe and well and hope we are able to re-open as soon as we can.

Although the settings are now closed you can still contact me or Chris via email:
