A warm, not-for-profit preschool with deep community roots.
Bishopdale Community Preschool was established by the community within the Bishopdale Mall complex over 40 years ago. Since the Christchurch earthquake disruption we have been operating from the Breens Intermediate School site on Breens Road. In 2016 we opened our new building on this site.
We operate as a registered society that is not-for-profit. Any surplus funds go back into developing the centre, with a volunteer parent governance board working alongside the teaching team and centre manager.
