The Kindergarten Program is designed to give your child a stronger start in school and in life – by providing an engaging learning program that is based on a child's natural desire for play. All children enter school capable, competent and ready to learn.
Kindergarten helps children:
- develop socially and emotionally through their relationships with other children, and the educators who guide them;
- learn to think for themselves, understand their feelings and the feelings of those around them, recognize and respect differences in others and assess the consequences of their actions;
- think critically about ideas and information in literacy and math;
- solve problems and think creatively; and
- develop as a citizen through a sense of personal connectedness to various communities, like their class, their grade and their school.
A teacher and early childhood educator work together to help your child learn during the school day. They implement a carefully planned play-based program that is challenging and geared to each child's level of development. The educators respond intentionally and creatively to your child's ideas and interests to challenge and extend the learning that happens during the day.
Kindergarten registration takes place each year in the month of February. Please contact your school for more information or click on the Register button below.
