Holy Family Offers both Preschool and Kindergarten to children in the Waskatenau area. Please refer below for more information on these programs.

All our early learning programs are based on a Reggio-inspired philosophy:

The Reggio philosophy is based upon the following set of principles:

• Children must have some control over the direction of their learning;

• Children must be able to learn through experiences of touching, moving, listening, seeing, and hearing;

• Children have a relationship with other children and with material items in the world that children must be allowed to explore and

• Children must have endless ways and opportunities to express themselves.

Preschool Readiness Requirements:

• Independent Washroom Use: Children must be fully independent in the washroom, including managing clothing and basic hygiene. Pull-ups are not permitted, with the exception of students supported through our inclusive education programs.
  

• Ability to Express Needs: Children should be able to express their needs, such as asking for help, sharing ideas with teachers and peers, or communicating when they need support.
  

• Social Skills: A willingness to engage with other children and participate in group activities is encouraged to help foster collaboration and a sense of community.
  

• Foundational Motor Skills: Familiarity with simple tasks, such as holding a crayon, using scissors, or tidying up after activities, supports a smoother transition into classroom routines.
