Nutrition Breaks

Due to life-threatening allergies, Lakeshore is a NUT FREE environment, so NO peanuts or tree-nuts please! Please check all labels carefully before sending food to school.

Students will be eating twice through the day. We suggest separating your child's food into a snack and a lunch, using labels or separate compartments in lunch bags when possible. We encourage you to send snack containers that your child can open easily, but there will always be an adult there to assist when needed.

Here are just some of the types of snacks and lunches we often see in our classrooms.

- sandwiches, bagels, wraps - cut up fruit
- cut up veggies with dip - raisins
- meat, cheese and crackers - apple sauce
- yogurt or cottage cheese - granola bars
- thermos of soup - thermos of pasta
- pretzels - nacho chips with salsa
- boiled eggs - sushi
-pitas and hummus - fruit gummies

Our Kindergarten Program

Our Kindergarten team includes two Teachers and one Registered Early Childhood Educators. The educators work together to provide an inviting and supportive learning environment that encourages curiosity and promotes exploration. The Kindergarten Program uses a balance of play-based inquiry learning and direct teaching to provide a variety of learning opportunities that are designed to reach every learner in the classroom.
The Teacher and ECE combine their skills, strengths and education backgrounds to collaborate and create a rich learning environment that fosters the development and well-being of your child.

Communication of Learning

Kindergarten students are assessed using the Four Frames Model, which is followed by the Full Day Kindergarten Program. These frames are designed to support the way children's learning naturally occurs during play and inquiry. They include Belonging and Contributing, Demonstrating Literacy and Mathematical Behaviour, Self Regulation and Well Being, as well as Problem Solving and Innovating.
