Hello future Kindergarten families!
Kindergarten registration for September 2025 is now open! Kindergarten is the beginning of a wonderful journey of learning, and we want your child to begin their journey in a Simcoe County District School Board school! To register online or for more information, visit: www.scdsb.on.ca/ kindergarten.
In Kindergarten, students play in and explore the outdoors daily. Enjoying the outdoors in a wide variety of weather teaches children to appreciate being outside. When you help your child dress for the outdoors, consider the weather so they will be comfortable outside. Helping your child learn how to put on and take off their outdoor clothes (jackets, snow pants, boots, hats, mittens) can help them develop their confidence in their self-help skills. Outdoor explorations can be a lot of fun and help build your child’s gross motor development, observation, and oral language skills. Check out these two free winter activities that can make your next outdoor adventure so much fun! Happy learning!
Nature Detectives - Different Kinds of Snow
Winter Scavenger Hunt
