History
In 1970, Peggy Brewin, Mary Wilson and Sue Rayner organized a study group to discuss various aspects of family life, including the needs of the preschool child. Participating stay-at-home parents brought their children to Peggy’s home where she looked after them. After the study group ended, those involved realized that the community would benefit greatly from a children’s playgroup. In 1971, the “Wakefield Cooperative Playschool” began.
In 1973 it was renamed the Peggy Brewin Cooperative Preschool in recognition of the support and encouragement given by Peggy Brewin. It eventually moved into the Farm Point Community Centre where it has continued to grow alongside our community to become the wonderful preschool that it is today.
