This program concentrates on developing your child’s
academic skills through a variety of activities. By use of group and individual
project work, children will expand their skills in mathematics, science, social
skills, music, visual arts, drama, and language. Through daily routines, Kidz
Junction staff will teach your child to apply these skills to reading, writing,
and basic mathematics. Our kinder
program in Edmonton ensures children are prepared for first
grade with confidence.
Children will be offered choices of play in the learning
centres (science/sensory, creative art, books, and dramatic centre) as well as
an academically oriented curriculum. Our weekly program plans implement
activities that encourage children to develop writing, reading, and math
skills, such as recognizing and printing uppercase and lowercase letters,
writing words and short messages (sentences), printing numbers to 50, counting
to 100, and adding and subtracting up to 10, all to prepare them for the first
grade. Children will learn basic vocabulary, colours, numbers, shapes, days of
the week, months of the year, simple phrases, songs, and games. This is why
parents often choose our Kinder program
in Leduc and Edmonton locations for a structured learning
experience.

Whether you’re looking for a comprehensive full-time option or a part-time schedule that fits around your workday, our program gives your child the consistency and structure they need to grow academically and socially.
Our Full-day Kindergarten program is designed to align with Alberta’s early learning goals. Children engage in hands-on learning that blends academic instruction with play-based experiences, giving them a balanced and engaging environment.

Children can start Kindergarten in Edmonton if they turn five years old on or before December 31 of the school year.
Eligibility in Alberta is based on age. Children must be five years old by December 31, and those turning six before September 1 typically begin Grade 1 instead of Kindergarten.
Yes, but it depends on the school. Some public schools in socially vulnerable communities offer full-day Kindergarten, while most others provide half-day programs.
Public schools in Edmonton do not charge tuition for full-day Kindergarten. However, private or charter schools may have associated fees for extended-day programs.
Kidz Junction’s kinder program will have an outdoor playground with age-appropriate play structures and various outdoor games. Weather permitting, outdoor activities will be scheduled twice a day (morning and afternoon). Breakfast and snacks will be provided. Quiet activities will also be offered every day. At the end of the week, there will be a general overview of the child’s activities and accomplishments in their cubby. This age group will also be offered a program called the “reading club,” where staff members will lead children by their age and their ability to participate. Children will learn to recognize their sight words as the basis of reading and writing. We are proud to be recognized as a Kindercare learning center in Edmonton with a strong academic and social curriculum.
Kidz Junction’s supervision of kinder children will abide by a 10:1 ratio (one staff supervising not more than 10 children).
