Benefits of Kindergarten
The skills and knowledge learned in kindergarten leads to increased school success, healthier relationships and improved emotional wellness. Kindergarten also provides early and strong foundations for literacy and math, which are the most significant predictors of future academic achievement.
Children who attended high-quality kindergarten programs are less likely to be retained a grade and are more likely to graduate from high school. Additional benefits of kindergarten include:
Learning safe risk-taking, which develops confidence and independence
Becoming part of a team and learning to problem solve
Fine-tuning their executive functioning skills such as: self-control, regulating emotions, memory, cognitive flexibility, organization, self-reflection, and focus
Making connections and friendships
Exploring curiosities and expand personal experiences which provides context for future learning
Kindergarten Registration
Families can register their children for kindergarten year-round. However, we recommend that new Kindergarten students be registered early in the calendar year as this provides families the best opportunity to secure a seat at their preferred school. You can register your student for the upcoming school year starting in January.
Student(s) must be 5 years old by Oct. 1 to register for Kindergarten. All Kindergarten students must possess independent toileting skills.
