Length: Kinder Kids is a 10-month, consistent school-year program. The goal is for each participant to start in September and finish through June to fully engage with the curriculum.
Program Overview:
At Kinder Kids, we understand that preschool-age children love to explore and learn through play. Our program focuses on developing fine and gross motor skills, cognitive abilities, and social-emotional development through a play-based curriculum.
Children in our program:
- Engage in dramatic and sensory play
- Learn through different activity centres in the classroom
- Focus on early literacy skills, including name recognition, learning to write their first name, and an introduction to letters, letter sounds, and numbers
- Explore shapes, colours, and patterns
We celebrate various holidays and special events throughout the year, such as:
- Birthdays (including half birthdays for summer children)
- Halloween family costume dance party
- Christmas mini concert and potluck
- Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, and Mother’s/Father’s Day
- Fun event days like Crazy Hair Day, PJ Day, and Backwards Day
- Special visits from community helpers during our Community Helpers unit
- End of Year Celebration:
At the end of the year, we host a graduation ceremony for our graduates or for children moving on to Year 2 of Kinder Kids. We also try to go on 1-2 field trips per year, such as trips to the library, fire station, or a local farm.
