Important additional key information:
- Children born in 2022 are eligible for Junior Kindergarten (JK) for Sept 2026
- The full-day Kindergarten program extends over two years (JK/SK)
- Child care arrangements are available with registration managed through the City of Ottawa Child Care Registry and Waitlist: https://ottawa.ca/en/family-and-social-services/childrens-services/apply-child-care
- You will need proof of age and address to register your child.
Once you have chosen your school, and registered your child, you will receive an invitation to a Kinder Open House event, usually held sometime in March. So, the time to act is NOW. Good luck in finding the best program fit for your child.
