NGPS offers Kindergarten at ten of our community schools. Preschool programs, also referred to as Junior Kindergarten, are offered at Sangudo Community School, Pat Hardy Primary School in Whitecourt and at Oscar Adolphson Primary School in Valleyview.

Every spring our schools host special events to welcome new Kindergarten students and their families to Kindergarten. Please check with your area school for complete details and upcoming open houses.

What happens in Kindergarten?

In Kindergarten, children explore and learn about the world and themselves through play. In Kindergarten your child will discover reading, math, physical education, art and music in preparation for lifelong learning.
