Kindergarten Programs

In our Kindergarten Programs, play is a necessity.

 

About the program

Kindergarten

Children at this stage tend to be very energetic and enjoy recognition. They may talk about having a ‘best friend’ and want to be like their peers. Our educators prioritize each child’s well-being by supporting their need to express themselves, to receive individual attention, and to belong.

Children in our Kindergarten Programs can choose to participate in a variety of activities designed to further develop growing self-help, self-regulation, and social skills.

What to Expect

  • A flexible group routine
  • Daily outdoor play in all kinds of weather
