Program

BrightPath Kindergarten is taught by Alberta Certificated Teachers and follows the Alberta Education Curriculum.

Our program is designed to be developmentally appropriate and to allow for the differences and experiences each child brings to the classroom. With a focus on early literacy, math, community, personal and social responsibility, as well as creative expression, the program caters to each individual child by creating a modification to accommodate their current level of development.  We believe that children learn best through play-based activities.

We make use of Itchy’s Alphabet and Jump Math programs. When ready, children learn through guided reading. These programs support children with fine motor development and help to build a strong love of reading, which is essential for future academic success.

Assessment

Students in the BrightPath Kindergarten program are assessed both formally and informally throughout the year. Informal assessments are ongoing in the form of daily classroom observations and interactions, as well as literacy and math assessments.

Formal assessments are completed using a broad range of tools that cover a variety of readiness skills to help early childhood educators identify each child’s specific strengths and needs. Three sets of report cards are provided to parents to demonstrate the child’s progress. The first and second report cards are followed up with parent/teacher interviews to discuss challenges, progress, and successes.
