OUR KINDERGARTEN PROGRAM
The Lethbridge kindergarten program at Our Lady of Assumption School specializes in play-based learning. Educators draw upon student’s natural curiosity to develop programming that encourages learning through carefully crafted play provocations and open-exploration. Wherever possible, natural materials and environments are encouraged to assist children in connecting their understanding of literacy and numeracy with the world around them.
Each student is cherished for their individuality and for the way they contribute to the classroom community. Kindergarten Lethbridge educators have engaged in specialized training and development focused on understanding and implementing the play-based learning classroom guided by scientific research on early brain development.
At our Lethbridge kindergarten, inquiry and discovery-based learning are encouraged through exploration and continually evolving play structures. In the play-based learning classroom, the role of the educator is to support and guide their students by improvising play structures and lesson plans to accommodate individual interests. Students build upon these structures as they develop deeper understandings through critical thinking and exploration.
