Vision, Purpose and Goals
The Catholic Kindergarten program is a child-centered, developmentally appropriate, integrated faith-based 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 spiritual, physical, emotional, and cognitive development of all children.
This document is intended to complement the Ministry document to articulate the Catholic dimension of the Kindergarten program in Ontario Catholic schools.
In God’s Image
In God’s Image
This program affirms the 4-5 year old child as someone who is made in God's image. Each area of the child's physical, intellectual, social and spiritual growth is highlighted as a trace of God, reminding them of God's loving presence through the wonder of growth and discovery at this stage of their lives.
