Pre-kindergarten is a Ministry of Education funded program for 3 and 4-year-old children.
A holistic approach is foundational to the Pre-kindergarten program. This means that all aspects of a child’s life are considered within the program—the family, the community and his/her language, culture, social-emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual development. Each classroom environment focuses on play and promotes hands-on learning opportunities.
Pre-kindergarten runs four days a week either mornings or afternoons (depending on the school) with some Fridays dedicated to family days, home visits and class outings. There are 16 students per class, one teacher and one educational assistant (8:1 ratio). Nutritional snacks are provided to students each day.
Families need to fill out an application for potential program placement. Due to the limited availability of pre-kindergarten programs, children and their families are selected for the program to ensure the most vulnerable children are served.
