The District School Board of Niagara is pleased to introduce new, full-day learning programs for Junior and Senior Kindergarten students. Beginning in September, 2010, eleven public schools will offer a total of 30 Early Learning Programs (ELP) for four and five year old children in Niagara.
In our Early Learning Programs, students in Junior and Senior Kindergarten or just Kindergarten will develop socially and emotionally through interaction with their peers and the adults who teach and guide them. They will also develop their capacity in language and mathematics, and engage in healthy physical activities and the arts. A new curriculum, based on the current kindergarten program, will be developed by the Ministry of Education.
Certified teachers and registered early childhood educators will complement each others’ skill sets and create a learning environment able to adapt to the unique needs of your child.
There will be optional programs for children enrolled in the program before and after the regular school day.
