Preschool Administration:
Adina Trowhill
Administrator
Adina began her career at Little Ark as a volunteer and saw both of her children through our preschool program. Years ago, she started her own business as a freelance executive assistant, catering to corporations and small business owners across Canada and the United States. Prior to starting a family, she spent some time working at the Vancouver School Board. She also worked with the Career Preparation Program at Lord Byng High School and assisted the Principal with the Accreditation process.
Since 2005 she has been involved behind the scenes at Little Ark, taking care of our financial and administrative needs. Adina shares a deep sense of community and relationship with our surrounding community and the families at LAP.
In 1970, in response to a recognized need to quality Early Childhood Education in our community, we opened the doors of Little Ark Preschool. Our vision for the school was to share our space and resources with our friends and neighbours in an open and accepting way. In September of 1970 the school became a reality and the first children enrolled. Eleven 3-year olds and nine 4-year olds made up the first classes under the supervision of Mrs. Tina Toll.
Committment:
West Point Grey Baptist Church remains committed to serving the families of Vancouver and we are thrilled with the quality of teaching and sense of community that Little Ark Preschool provides. The church also runs its own programming for children of all ages during their Sunday morning classes (9:30-11) and our Sunday morning Worship Gathering (11-12:15).
