Kindergarten Philosophy

Our Vision

“Covenant College strives to be a vibrant Christ-centred community where parents and teachers serve in partnership to nurture in each child a passion for learning and an uncompromising desire to live according to God’s word.”

In the kindergarten, our unique vision is: “Nurturing and learning through play.”

We believe that young children learn best through play-based, hands-on experiences that promote curiosity, wonder, and joyful discovery. Through play, children grow in all areas — cognitively, emotionally, socially, physically and spiritually.
