Kindergarten

Your child can enter Kindergarten if they are not yet six years old on September 1 of the school year. Children who turn five years old on or before December 31 of the same year are eligible to register for Kindergarten. We encourage you to register your child as early as possible to avoid any delays in September, especially if you have a preference in the days for attendance. 

Our programs run 2 full-days per week, with additional half-day Fridays scheduled in the AM. Your family can choose a Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs full-day program to best meet the needs of your child. Our classroom staff includes a certificated teacher who programs for your child using the Alberta Education Kindergarten Curriculum. There is no monthly cost to attend Kindergarten within any Grasslands Public School. 

*Alberta Education requires families provide a birth certificate or proof of citizenship for a child at the time of registration. If you do not have an original, the local registry office can assist you with reordering a copy from Service Alberta.*
