Kindergarten provides early learning opportunities for children who are 5 years old.
Kindergarten is a wonderful way for your child to discover what school is like and to have fun while learning new things. In this exciting new community, children’s natural curiosity and eagerness to learn are structured through organized activities and purposeful play. Children will interact, imagine, experiment and explore to add to their knowledge, learn new skills and practice what they’ve learned.
Certificated teachers and educational assistants implement the program, with support from professionals in the areas of speech/language, occupational therapy, and behavioural therapy.
Curricular areas include early literacy, mathematics, citizenship and identity, environment and community awareness, personal and social responsibility, physical skills and well-being, as well as creative expression.
