About Us

Our Teachers

Our teachers and assistants guide and shape our preschoolers' experiences. We're grateful for the care and creativity they bring to the classroom everyday. Their experience and expertise in early childhood education and development means our kids are in the best hands to learn about their world and have a whole lot of fun in it!

    My name is Robin Sasko and I am so excited to be teaching the Monday/Wednesday/Friday class and assist in the Tuesday/Thursday classroom as well.


    Here’s a little bit about me:

    I have a husband, Bryce and 3 children, Gavin, Clarice and Arden.  In 2005, I completed my Early Childhood Education Diploma from SIAST and since have spent many years as a Preschool Teacher, Educational Assistant in Preschool, Lower Elementary Classrooms and even one on one with Children with Special Needs.


    Before deciding on Early Childhood as my passion, I earned my Ecotourism Certificate and love all things about Ecology and Nature; mud and worms to trees and birds! It’s fun incorporating these things in the Preschool classroom too!


    I love being in the Preschool classroom and getting to know your little ones- I look forward to partnering with you!

    My name is Mikayla Froese and I am the lead teacher for the Tuesday/Thursday class, and the Teacher Assistant for Monday/Wednesday/Friday classes. 


    Here's a little bit about me: I am a prairie girl at heart and I am passionate about giving back to my community. I love spending time with family and friends and drinking lots of coffee!  


     For as long as I can remember I have always loved spending time with kids and getting down on their level to connect with them. I knew that I wanted to have a career that involved kids which lead me to teaching. I have lots of experience in both work and volunteer settings with children ranging from 2yrs – 18yrs, from years of nannying to mentoring students one on one in both academic and life skills. Being in the classroom is my happy place and I love going to work every day knowing I get to spend time learning with littles. It’s been a blast figuring out the ins and outs of teaching and how to bring new and engaging ideas to our classroom. 


    I am ecstatic to be a part of the Lakeridge Preschool Community and I look forward to the next year ahead with your little ones! 

About Lakeridge Preschool

Lakeridge Preschool was formed in 1990 as a co-operative preschool by a group of parents to provide a preschool setting in the Lakeridge area. Though it was felt at the time that a co-operative would best serve the needs of the preschool, in 2012 the decision was made to no longer operate as a co-operative. We continue to emphasize the benefit of parental involvement and member participation, while recognizing that families are not always able to volunteer their time. 

With two teachers in the classroom we are always working to provide a safe, clean and inviting space for students. While parent involvement is not necessary through the classroom days, we still encourage family involvement outside of the classroom with assistance on field trip days if available. 

At Preschool we use the App Remind to send home reminders, and communicate with families. We also use the App to send pictures of what the kids get up to during their time at Preschool.

Lakeridge Preschool would not be able to operate without the active involvement of parents on the Board of Directors. We are always looking for new members for the board. If any parents are interested please reach out. Read more about what is involved. 

Class Routine

Each day will usually include the following: 
  • Circle time – group activities such as finger plays, singing and story time
  • Small Motor Activities – puzzles, etc.
  • Interest Centers – housekeeping, building blocks, games, etc.
  • Creative Arts – painting, crafts, play dough 
  • Large Muscle Activities – either inside or outside
  • Snack time

An important part of the curriculum at Lakeridge Preschool is our field trips!  Some of the best learning takes place outside of the school-- and we've been lucky enough to partner with many local destinations and businesses to make our field trips possible! We will always let parents/caregivers know well in advance when we plan a class outing. Parents are welcome to join for these special days-- but it is not mandatory.

Board of Directors

Board positions are filled by volunteers from the preschool membership in May for the following term. Without our generous volunteers, we would not be able to operate, so please consider becoming a member of our Board and play an important role in shaping the experience of our preschoolers. 

Being a part of the Board requires a small time commitment and offers the chance for a lot of fun! Meet other parents who share the common goal of creating a preschool experience that is full of fun and sets our kids on a path to love learning.
