Getting Ready for Kindergarten 

In this session, we explore a typical day in the life of Kindergarten, student transportation, before and after school programs, and how you and your family can help get ready for Kindergarten at home! The session also includes an overview of the foundational elements of the Kindergarten program, including: intentional, play-based learning and the Four Frames that guide everyday learning.

Transition to Kindergarten: Supporting Big Emotions

The transition to Kindergarten is an exciting time and a big step that can bring a range of emotions for both children and families. In this video, members of KPR’s Mental Health Team explore big feelings, and common behaviours to expect as children adjust to a new environment, relationships and routines. The session focuses on ideas and positive coping strategies to support a successful school journey!
