Kindergarten registration is now open for the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District Board.
The board says it is preparing for a return to some normalcy for the 2021-2022 school year and is ready to welcome its youngest learners to in-class learning in September.
Students who turn four this year are eligible to attend Junior Kindergarten this fall at one of 41 Catholic elementary schools in Simcoe County and Muskoka.
“It has been a long and difficult year for families in our board, but we have seen how incredibly resilient and adaptable our students are,” said Joe Zerdin, Board Chair. “We know that our four and five year olds are ready to make new friends, participate in engaging learning activities, and embrace new routines in a school environment. Starting registration for the next school year provides us with a renewed hope and faith that we are turning a corner and looking forward to brighter days ahead.”
SMCDSB’s Kindergarten program, which is led by a Kindergarten teacher and Designated Early Childhood Educator, provides students with a full-day, play-based learning experience that prepares them for their next stage in learning. The teaching team encourages independence, fosters responsibility, nurtures self-esteem, and instills Gospel values in order to develop a solid foundation for learning and growth.
