Pre-Kindergarten Screening
To provide your child with an optimal Pre-K experience, all children participate in a developmental 'screen' to help us learn about your child's strengths and abilities. Your child will be involved in play activities with one of the Pre-K therapists. This process helps us to determine if your child qualifies for:
- a funded placement (by Alberta Education) to access additional supports for special needs, or
- a non-funded placement (a monthly fee required).
Please sign up for a screening appointment at an annual EXPO or by phoning Roxanne Oliva (see contact information below).
