Optional Full Time Kindergarten: We are pleased to offer Extended Kindergarten Program for families that wish to enroll their children. Parents can choose the Regular Kindergarten Program, which runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday, or the Extended Kindergarten Program, which will run every day. The Extended Kindergarten Program is an educationally rich environment with lots of opportunities for exploration, discovery and play. The students will enjoy music, story time, crafts, centers, gym class and more. Although new concepts are not taught during this time, lessons taught in the Regular Kindergarten Program are reinforced through this program.
The Kindergarten program at Timothy Christian School is taught by qualified, Christian teachers in a caring and safe environment. In Kindergarten, children learn the fundamentals that will provide them with a strong academic foundation. Here are five building blocks to learning introduced in Kindergarten at Timothy Christian School:
In Kindergarten, each child is encouraged to develop his or her talents to praise God and serve others. They begin to learn basic French phrases and conversation. Students readily absorb new vocabulary and begin to recognize Canada as a bi-lingual country. Experiences in art, music, physical activities and field trips are also part of the Kindergarten curriculum.
In the Regular Kindergarten Program Senior Kindergarten meets every other Monday. Junior and Senior Kindergarten meet together on alternate Mondays and every Wednesday and Friday. The students are paired with a big buddy from the senior grades who helps them feel at home at the school and assists them with simple tasks like getting dressed for recess in the winter, reading and doing crafts together.
At Timothy Christian School, Kindergarten is the rock that the rest of their learning is built upon. Send your child here so he or she will understand God’s love for them while learning the fundamentals about reading, writing and arithmetic.
Our Regular JK/SK program runs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and is taught by a certified teacher. Our Extended JK/SK program runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays also and is taught by an Early Childhood Educator. Our Kindergarten teachers are qualified, Christian teachers who care deeply about helping your child establish a foundation in academics and learning about God's Word.
