Children's Programs & Services
Early Childhood / Kindergarten
Early childhood is a significant period in human development. Independence, initiative, decision making, creativity, the ability to learn, the ability to relate to others and feelings of self-worth all have their beginnings in early childhood. What young children learn at this stage will have a major impact on successful learning experiences in school, on personal development and on future participation in society. The Kindergarten program not only helps prepare children for entry into Grade 1, but also provides a foundation for later success. The purpose of Kindergarten is to provide learning experiences that are developmentally appropriate in order to meet the diverse needs of children and promote a positive attitude toward lifelong learning.
Headstart
The Headstart Program is designed for children aged 3.5 to 5 years who meet the Alberta Education qualifications for funding. The focus of this program is the development of speech & language, behavior skills, and / or fine / gross motor skills.
LOGOS Program
The Logos program provides for the instruction of the Alberta curriculum within the context of a Christian environment. The Logos program is non-denominational and the Christian environment is based on traditional Christian principles as reflected in the Bible and the Apostle’s Creed.
This Christian environment is established through:
- Integrating the Biblical context with the instructional program
- Scripture readings
- Daily prayer and devotions
- Selected resources specific to the Logos Program
An activity fee of $10.00 per child will be charged for participants in the Logos Program.
