Kindergarten Program
Full and Half Day Kindergarten Programs are available.
The Arts
Kindergarten students participate in creative movement, music, arts and crafts, painting, drama, and dress-up. Students also participate in physical education three times each week.
Academics
Students are introduced to reading, writing, and mathematics as they are ready. A whole language approach in conjunction with a foundation in phonics is used to introduce themes and topics of interest to young children. Classroom toys are selected that will encourage socialization, the development of fine motor skills, spatial awareness and problem solving.
French
Kindergarten students have French daily. Songs, games, and activities are used to introduce the language, with students becoming familiar with colours, seasons and numbers as they develop everyday conversational skills.
Snack and Free Play
Snack time is every morning at 10:30 a.m. Parents provide their child’s snack. The Junior Academy is a nut-free zone. Full day students have a 30 minute outdoor recess following lunch. Kindergarten students have recess buddies from our Grades 7 & 8 classes to mentor them on the playground and organize games and activities. Free play sessions are in the morning and afternoon, and outdoors in the warmer weather.
Field Trips and Outings
Kindergarten students go on several outings each year, including visits to farms, the theatre, and other appropriate venues. Students have the opportunity to participate in off-site skating, skiing and swimming programs.
Extended hours 7:30 a.m. - 6 p.m.
