The journey begins at SCS

Kindergarten at SCS is a special time...in a special place...for special people.  On any given day, our children may be acting out a Bible story, playing games, writing in their journals, singing songs, learning to read or praying.  With group time, learning centres, and teacher guided movement activities, our kindergarten teacher provides a Christian basis for social and academic development.  We emphasize experiential learning and play-based activities to best allow children to develop at their own pace while encouraging them to reach and enjoy their full potential.

SCS offers full day everyday kindergarten which meets all of the curricular requirements found in the Saskatchewan curriculum and enjoys enrichment opportunities in STEAM activities (Science, Teachnology, Engineering, Arts, and Math).
