Kindergarten Information Night

Thank you for joining us for our Kindergarten Information Evening. We look forward to seeing you again at our open-house event in late May / early June. This is when children and families can come together to see the classrooms and meet our educators. 


Registration

Registration is open for the 2025/2026 school year. If your child will turn 4 by December 31st, 2025, you can register them for Kindergarten here: OCDSB Kindergarten Registration 


If your child currently attends Farley Mowat P.S., will be in Year Two Kindergarten next year(born in 2020), and will be attending Steve MacLean P.S. in September due to the boundary change, you do not need to re-register. This process is automatic. We look forward to welcoming you in September.


The School Locator tool will help you to determine if your address falls within the boundaries for SMPS. 


The OCDSB Family Reception Centre is designed to help you if English is not your first language. Staff can also assist with new Permanent Residents to Canada, families returning from abroad, or those transferring from a French language school board. You can call the Family Reception Centre at (613) 239-2416 to make an appointment. 


If you have any further questions you can contact the SMPS Main office by telephone at (613) 822-0341 or by email at stevemacleanps@ocdsb.ca  


“The Kindergarten program is a child-centred, developmentally appropriate, integrated program of learning for four- and five-year-old children. The purpose of the program is to establish a strong foundation for learning in the early years and to do so in a safe and caring, play-based environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of all children.”
