Heading to kindergarten for the first time can be pretty overwhelming. Many parents of a four year old experience excitement but apprehension about enrolling their child in kindergarten for the first time. With good reason; there are many decisions that have to be made when preparing a child for their first year of school. What about before and after school care? What types of French language programs are offered? Is their child ready to spend that length of time away from home?
For these and many other questions, the Ottawa Catholic School Board is here to help put your mind at east about your child's upcoming journey. Our Kindergarten Registration Week, January 15 to 19, is designated for you to visit your child's new school to complete the registration process, while our friendly school staff are on hand to answer any questions you may have.
Registering in January gives parents and their children time to prepare for the journey together. Families often practice things like putting on shoes and coats, school bus and pedestrian safety, and how to recognize their first name in print. Practicing these skills can go a long way in terms of boosting a child’s confidence for their first day of school. So plan ahead together. Bring your little one with you at registration time in January, and give your child the best possible start.
