Kinder Camps – Gradual Entry Support for Busy Families

**First 10 registrations get an extra little surprise gift as a token of the start of their education journey!**

Every Parents’ solution to School District 40’s Gradual Entry schedule for your new Kindergartener!

Gradual entry can be a vitally important part of a new student’s success and while this may be so, we know that it’s not always easy to schedule life and work around your child’s school entry plan.

We’ve developed a series of super fun days for your Kindergartener to enjoy when not required at school with a flexible schedule to accommodate your non attendance days, teacher meet & greets and half day attendance.

Specifically for students entering Kindergarten your child will meet new friends (some of whom will likely be in their class) and enjoy a week filled with summer time vibes (think games, art and outdoor play!) while they transition into the full day school schedule for the very first time. We’re keeping it light and easy with a well paced day, including adequate breaks, to help your 4 or 5 year old feel inspired and ready to take on their new educational challenge!

*Note* This schedule reflects gradual entry support for Qayqayt Elementary but this program is open to ALL SD 40 schools.
