JR. KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM (5 mornings/week)
We are very excited to offer a Junior Kindergarten program that runs five mornings a week. With a Christian perspective focused on God’s love woven into all activities and lessons, this dynamic class will be alive with music, crafts, stories, and games. To enhance the program, children will go on mini field trips (next door) to the Calgary Christian Elementary School to sing and play instruments in the music room, explore the wonderful world of books in the library and paint, build and create in the art room.
During the program, we will support each child’s journey of development while preparing them for Kindergarten through:
• Rhythm & Dance Time
• Science (exploring/sensing/discovering)
• Handwriting Without Tears (stories/strengthening fine motor skills)
• Letter Sound Exploration
• Library Time
• Ball Skills (throwing, catching, kicking a ball)
• Our “Awareness Through Movement” Program (helps develop coordination, balance and strength)
• Math Fun (logic/sequence/patterns),
• Adventure & Nature Walks
• Music Time (instruments and singing)
