KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM
Kanata location only


Our kindergarten and school age programs provide an opportunity for children to gain further independence and strengthen their social and problem solving skills.

We offer a variety of activities and experiences throughout the day that encourages the children to make choices, as they move freely, from area to area (roll play, art, sensory and board games.) We focus on conflict resolution skills, social and self-help skills, and the ability to make decisions through choice.

We adjust our operating schedules annually to meet the children's school schedule. Buses arrive in the morning, at lunch time and late afternoon to pick-up and drop off children from several of the schools, north of the Queensway, in the Kanata area.

Professional development days become full days for the Kindergarten children at the Children's Place . We are familiar with each schools P.D. days and we plan our activities in accordance to those needs. We are also able to accommodate the fluctuation of half-day/full-day programs when school buses are not operating due to weather conditions.

We provide the same meals for this age group, as we do for our younger children. So parents, lunches are not necessary. We however respect that at this age, some children, some of the time, may wish to bring lunch and this is okay, talk to the teacher about this flexibility.

JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM
This program has been in existence since 1989. It was originally called our Pre-readiness program. With the public school system introducing a junior kindergarten program, we felt it would be in the best interest of our families to model our program on the curriculum offered by the Ministry of Education, and yet still maintain our mandate of easing the children into a more conforming style of learning. In this manner, we believe we have designed a program the gives your child the very best in ratio's, tutoring and teaching in preparation for Kindergarten within the Ministry of Education school system, along with a very strong basic academic start.
