Pre-Kindergarten
With an age appropriate blend of social, academic, and play based learning, this program will be your child’s first steps into organized education and a Kindergarten setting! Pre-Kindergarten focuses on creating an exciting community where a child’s natural curiosity and eagerness to learn are encouraged through organized activities and purposeful play. A program for children 3 years of age, Pre-Kindergarten aims to advance early literacy, creative expression, physical skills, mathematics, and so much more!
A fun learning environment that works closely with the Alberta Kindergarten curriculum, this program will build on important fundamentals like literacy, mathematics, identity, and personal/social responsibility! Junior Kindergarten is a social, academic, play based learning program for children 4 years of age. Junior Kindergarten is a place to interact, imagine, experiment and explore new skills while practicing abilities that have already been learned!
