The Kindergarten Program at UCDSB
The UCDSB Kindergarten program is a play-based educational program. Children learn through play, and the kindergarten curriculum is designed to engage them in learning through their natural curiosity, imagination and creativity. 
If your child will be four years old by December 31, register your child for Kindergarten in one of our quality, caring schools. Registration is currently only available online. If you need support, contact your local school.
The UCDSB offers both French and English programming in each of its elementary schools, ranging from core French (one period a day) to full French Immersion. See what French programming is offered at each of our 57 elementary schools.
"I am extremely happy that we decided to send our daughter to in-class JK this year. She loves each and every day. She excitedly tells us about all her class activities, especially all the outdoor time, and cannot wait to go back each day. Her teacher and ECE have created a safe and wonderful learning environment and keep us informed of what is happening in the classroom.”

"My daughter comes home from kindergarten each day with a smile, and shares stories about time spent with friends and their daily adventures. Her teacher consistently shares photos and updates of their activities – that caring effort keeps us connected to both our daughter and the school community.”
