Welcome to Kindergarten!

Chinook’s Edge School Division is pleased to provide our original Welcome to Kindergarten book at no cost for families with pre-school children in our communities. We created this picture book to help young children prepare for the excitement of starting school, and we were proud when it received a national award from the Canadian Association of Communicators in Education!

There are a variety of Kindergarten programs available in Chinook’s Edge, including full day, half-day and French Immersion programming, depending on the school. We invite you to call or visit a Chinook’s Edge school in your community to find out more about the wonderful opportunities waiting for your child. Chinook’s Edge looks forward to welcoming Kindergarten students into our safe and caring school communities!
