The junior kindergarten room consists of children who are
of age to attend junior kindergarten in schools. In this programme,
parents have the choice to send their children to school for
the morning or have them stay with us all day. For parents
who would like for their children to attend a kindergarten
in a school, there are currently 3 options available:
1) Attend Blessed John XX111 Catholic Elementary School.
The kindergarten classroom is located right beside the
day care classroom. Children simply transfer from room to
room without having to leave the premises.
2) Attend Gateway Public School
Children attending Gateway Public School have a short
walk to and from the school accompanied by a staff from
the day care
3) Attend French Emersion School
For this option, children travel by school bus to and
from both schools
** PLEASE NOTE: Children in our junior kindergarten
programme must attend school in the mornings **
After school, children return to the day care for a nutritious,
catered lunch and then participate in our afternoon programme.
In the afternoon, children are immersed in a fun and stimulating
programme which includes creative, cognitive, social, language,
gross motor and fine motor activities. All areas of development
are enhanced through a variety of exciting learning opportunities
which are appropriate for this age group.
Children who stay with us all day participate in a morning
programme comparable to attending kindergarten in a school.
Teachers have access to and knowledge of the Toronto District
School Board’s junior and senior kindergarten curriculums.
They are aware of the skills and abilities necessary for the
completion of these two grades. They strive to develop and
implement a programme which ensures that children are working
towards attaining these skills. Having a smaller teacher-child
ratio than typical kindergarten classes do, allows for children
to have more one-to-one time with their teachers. This also
enables teachers to develop more individualized experiences
for children according to their needs and abilities.

The senior kindergarten room consists of children who are
of age to attend senior kindergarten in a school. Parents
who enroll their children in this programme currently have
3 options available for kindergarten:
1) Attend Blessed John XX111 Catholic Elementary School.
The kindergarten classroom is located right beside the
day care classroom. Children simply transfer from room to
room without having to leave the premises.
2) Attend Gateway Public School
Children attending Gateway Public School have a short walk
to and from the school accompanied by a staff from the day
care
3) Attend French Emersion School
For this option, children travel by school bus to and
from both schools
** PLEASE NOTE: Children in our senior kindergarten
programme must attend school in the afternoons **
Senior kindergarten children enjoy a developmentally-appropriate
morning programme filled with stimulating and challenging
learning opportunities. Planned activities promote the development
of skills and abilities in a variety of areas (i.e. cognition,
creativity, language, social skills, gross motor, fine motor,
etc). After a nutritious catered lunch, children depart for
school. Upon their return to the center after school, they
enjoy less structured activities, as well as the opportunity
to participate in our Homework Club. The Homework Club allows
children to complete work that has been sent home from school
while at the day care. This way they will have more time to
spend on family activities once they are at home. This is
especially helpful for children who are here at the day care
until 5:30pm or 6:00pm on a regular basis.

Between the months of September and June, we also offer
a Nursery School Programme. This programme is perfect for
parents who are looking for a place for their children to
play, learn and socialize for a couple of hours a day. Our
Nursery School Programme will allow children to interact with
peers their own age, while benefiting from our junior kindergarten
programme. Children have the opportunity to build and enhance
skills in all areas of development. This is a great opportunity
for children to prepare for the transition to senior kindergarten.
This programme is offered from 9:00am-11:30am
from Monday to Friday. Since it is offered when some of our
junior kindergarten children are in school, spaces are limited.
As well, please note that there will be no Nursery School
offered during the following times:
1) School PA Days
2) March Break
3) Christmas Break
4) Summer Vacation ( July & August)
** Nursery School parents will be notified of the dates for
all of the above in the beginning of September once we have
received this information from the schools**
