Let us tell you a bit about the Kindergarten program at the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board.
Kindergarten is a two-year program designed to create a strong foundation for learning. Each classroom has a teacher team, which includes a Kindergarten teacher and Designated Early Childhood Educator (DECE). The teaching team will promote all areas of your child's development - spiritual, academic, social, emotional and physical - all through self-directed play.
Find out what your child will be learning on the
Ministry of Education's Kindergarten website.
We foster an environment which supports
learning through
relationships, play,
exploration and inquiry.
The program is based on the belief that every
child is
competent, capable of complex
thinking, curious and rich in
potential.
Your child will
explore, discover and
learn throughout the thoughtfully planned
classroom.
Learning opportunities are designed to
encourage natural
curiosity, creativity, problem solving,
literacy and
numeracy, and to develop
social skills.
We are committed to foster a love of
learning. Our innovative Kindergarten children
benefit from appropriate and meaningful use of
technology to encourage problem solving. They also
document the thinking and
ideas that they
explore during play.
Outdoor
play is a big part of
healthy growth, learning,
development and well-being for your
child.
