Kindergarten

Kindergarten registration for the 2024-25 school year is now open. Click here to be taken to the registration page on the Black Gold School Division website.

Kindergarten programming in both English and French Immersion is offered at ÉCPS. Students attend a half-day class, either morning or afternoon (should numbers warrant an afternoon class). Kindergarten helps students transition from home to school, and helps children build important skills and behaviours in an inclusive, play-based environment.

The Kindergarten programs follow the Alberta Education curriculum, and topics consist of Language Arts and Literacy, Mathematics, Science, Phys. Ed. and Wellness, Creative Expression, and Personal and Social Responsibility.

Children who are 5 years of age by December 31 of the school year are eligible to attend Kindergarten.
