Kindergarten Programs

Kindergarten programs In the North Vancouver School District, we believe that Kindergarten is more than an introduction to school. Kindergarten provides students with opportunities to explore their curiosity about the world around them and nurture their own abilities to learn new things. The learning environment of our Kindergarten classrooms promotes school readiness by encouraging the social, emotional, physical, verbal and academic development of children in a safe and welcoming environment.
To meet the diverse needs of our communities, the North Vancouver School District offers a variety of Kindergarten programs. Our Kindergarten programs follow the B.C. curriculum and bring together our youngest learners for self-initiated and teacher-led activities which support the development of cooperative and thoughtful students through play-based learning.
Full day Kindergarten will be available in North Vancouver School District schools beginning in September of 2011.
The following links will lead you to more information about our Kindergarten Programs and registration procedures.
Registering for Kindergarten Children who turn 5 by December 31st of the school year are eligible to be registered for Kindergarten. Please contact NVSD Central Registration at 604.903.3368 for complete registration information or visit the student registration page.
