A confident start to Kindergarten begins here

‍Every class feels like Kindergarten itself.

So when the first day comes, your child already knows what to do.

August → Prepare before Kindergarten begins
Our learning experiences give children practice raising a hand, asking for help, joining play, calming big feelings, building early literacy and math skills, and managing backpacks and lunch containers.

September → Put those foundations to work in the classroom
As Kindergarten begins, our learning experiences build on what children are now experiencing at school—participating in class, building friendships, communicating ideas and needs, navigating challenges, and growing more independent.

French Immersion → Prepare for learning in a new language
Our French Immersion learning experiences introduce children to hearing and using French through classroom greetings, directions, songs, stories, letters, numbers, and everyday vocabulary—then in September build understanding and confidence as French becomes part of their real classroom day.
