FULL DAY KINDERGARTEN PRESENTATION 2020

Play Based Learning

Play Based Learning provides an engaging learning environment during the

day that is based on a child’s natural desire for play. Kindergarten will help your child grow socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually.

Children are naturally curious about the world, which is why they are always

asking “WHY?” Kindergarten allows children to actively explore their environment and the world around them through play.

During Explore Time, students are given the freedom to choose where they

play in the classroom. They will explore language, ideas and problem solving as they experiment with materials such as blocks, items from nature, paint, books and playdough.

Is Full Day Kindergarten Right For Your Child? Some Things to Consider:

What is their impression of school? Are they excited for it? Are they identify their name? Can they identify some letters in the alphabet? Do they understand the idea of counting? Are they able to comfortably hold a pencil or marker? Can they independently use the washroom? How are transition times? Are they okay being away from parents for longer

periods of time?

Are they ready to be at school for 6.5 hours? (vs. 2.5 hours in half days) Are they able follow simple instructions? Can they get dressed independently? Has your child attended Nursery School or other structured programs?
