SEAMLESS DAY PROGAM

 

This unique program provides before and after school care for students in Kindergarten and Grade One and is currently available at Oliver Elementary School and Osoyoos Elementary School.

 

Early Childhood Educators welcome students into our before school daycare and continue on through the Kindergarten day supporting the classroom and working alongside the Kindergarten teacher(s). At the end of the school day, the Early Childhood Educators transition the children into our after-school daycare, continuing many themes and interests that were shared during the school day.

 

Our Seamless day Kindergarten provides consistency of caregivers and provides collaboration of all Educators in the best interests of the children. The team of educators include the classroom teacher(s) and two early childhood educators. With minimum transitions for the students, and team collaboration for the educators, students will excel in all aspects of their development.
