Facilities & School Environment
Parents also value the school’s bright indoor space, safe environment, convenient location, and access to outdoor experiences nearby.
The space made us feel like our children were always safe, and that was a huge priority for our family.
We visited many early years programs before choosing SLI, and one of the things that stood out immediately was how bright and welcoming it felt.
The large windows and higher ceilings created an environment that felt open, cheerful, and conducive to learning.

The gym was a great fit for our daughters from preschool to Grade 6.
It provided a comfortable environment where they could build confidence in activities like basketball and other sports before moving on to larger settings.
They also enjoyed the outdoor play equipment and tricycles when they were younger.

One of their favourite parts of the school experience was spending time at the nearby Betty Sutherland Trail.
Being located right beside the trail gave students access to beautiful outdoor spaces, especially during the spring and fall months.
