Our Kinder Program

3.5 years - 5 years 

(Teacher : Child ratio 1:8)

Kids Blowing Bubbles

Our Kinder program takes children beyond the Ontario Curriculum taught in the traditional public school system. Monthly and weekly themes keep our kinders motivated and excited to learn. We create and plan activities with the children's interests in mind. The small teacher to child ratios are designed to assist your child in reaching their highest achievement level. 

Goal setting and the achievement of these goals are top on the priority list. Consistent routines aim to promote independence, boosting self-confidence and self-esteem. At the completion of the kinder program, the children will be equipped with comprehensive skills and knowledge in all curriculum areas for a flawless transition into grade one. A cap and gown graduation ceremony sends our kinders off in style!
