Early Learning
Mackenzie Community School has been offering the Early Learning Kindergarten Program (ELKP) since September 2010.
The Early Learning Kindergarten Program (ELKP) is a full-day, every day Kindergarten for four and five year olds. Class sizes are limited to approximately 26 students with an educator team of a Kindergarten Teacher and an Early Childhood Educator.
The goals of the program are to:
- Establish a strong foundation for the early years by providing young children with an integrated day of learning;
- Provide a play-based learning environment;
- Help children make a smoother transition to Grade 1;
- Improve children's prospects for success in school and in their lives beyond school.
The play-based learning program provides children with developmental opportunities in six areas of learning:
- Personal and social development;
- Language;
- Mathematics;
- Science and technology;
- Health and physical activity; and
- The arts.
For additional information regarding ELKP, you can visit the Ontario Ministry of Education website.
Registration for JK/SK children will take place between January 20 and 31, 2020. Click here for more information.
