Kindergarten

We believe that the time that your child spends in kindergarten is wonderful and absolutely precious. Your child is about to embark on a beautiful and long journey through the school system and he or she must be well prepared.

Our kindergarten is a friendly and inclusive environment and the important part is for your child to want to go to school! Every day is a first step towards new experiences and, step by step, your child will want to come back the next day and get ready for Grade 1. So that children want to accompany us on this beautiful journey, we learn through play to work on their overall development (emotional, social, moral, cognitive, linguistic, physical and mobility related). The idea is for your child to learn through play and acquire all the tools he or she will need for her first year of real school.

Your child will have the opportunity to thrive in an entirely French-speaking environment. Our francization program is an important part of our kindergarten program.

At École Sainte-Catherine, kindergarten is a privileged environment where your child will continue to thrive.

Your child will be happy and proud to share his or her interests, will acquire independence at his or her own pace, will make friends and will share many things with them, while living his or her own emotions so as to be aware of his or her own strengths and limitations.

Thanks to multiple activities, discoveries and learning experiences, the teacher aims to keep each child engaged, to sharpen his or her curiosity, to let him or her open up to the surrounding world while teaching different topics leading to elementary school.
