Starting school is an exciting time for your child. Our schools provide a rich learning environment for all children to learn and grow.
In the Kindergarten program, your child will develop their skills and abilities through inquiry and intentional play-based learning. Teachers and early childhood educators plan learning experiences where children are actively engaged in learning and thinking creatively.
Children can attend Junior Kindergarten in the calendar year that they turn four and Senior Kindergarten in the year that they turn five. Registration for the English Kindergarten program begins in February (*see below for information about the Early French Immersion program). For specific registration dates and times, please contact your local school.
