Junior and Senior Kindergarten
Full Day Every Day in English and French Immersion
Early Learning and Before and After School Registration, click here!
Effective September 2010, Rainbow Schools will offer full
day every day programs for four and five-year-olds.
Registrations are currently being accepted for the 2010-2011
school year. Please visit your
local Rainbow School
to register your child today.
Children will be immersed in a rich learning environment where their social,
emotional, physical and cognitive growth will be nurtured through play-based
learning.
Early years are critical years. Research has shown that the early years
form the foundation for future learning in academic subjects.
Children play at learning centres where they are encouraged to explore and
solve problems in groups or on their own.
By participating in these activities, children use a variety
of material to discover, investigate how things work, share ideas, develop
theories and test them out.

For enrolment in Junior Kindergarten, the child must be four
years of age by December 31, 2010.
For enrolment in Senior
Kindergarten, the child must be five years of age by
December 31, 2010.

Regardless of whether you are choosing Junior Kindergarten
or Senior Kindergarten, in English or French Immersion, the skills that your
child will gain in Rainbow Schools remain the same.
Rainbow District School Board’s Kindergarten Programs are based on sound
principles of early childhood education with a strong focus on character
development.
Intellectual stimulation, physical development, social/emotional development
and self-discipline are emphasized daily.
In Rainbow Schools, children learn important values such as sharing and
co-operating with others. Teachers become important role models for the
young children, which further enhances the learning experience.
Learning Together
Parents are encouraged to instill in their children an enthusiasm for learning by sharing common interests, asking questions, reading a book together, exploring new ideas, or collecting, sorting and counting.
