A Quality Education

Kindergarten: Where It All Begins

Kindergarten at Collège Sainte-Marcelline is much more than the first year of school. It is a caring space where every child is welcomed exactly as they are, encouraged to explore, play and grow at their own pace. Here, we lay the foundations of a fulfilling school journey together.

A Welcome That Respects Every Child

In kindergarten, your child arrives with their own set of experiences, curiosity and personality. We respect this unique starting point.

It is through varied activities and free play that your child fully prospers. The homeroom teacher and our specialist teachers work together to support the development of five competencies: physical and motor, emotional, social, language and cognitive.

A Welcome That Respects Every Child

Our students benefit from two physical education periods per week, led by a specialist teacher, fostering the development of their gross motor skills. In addition, a specialist music teacher offers a weekly period dedicated to musical awakening and creative expression.

Tailored Support for the Earliest Learning

To support this mission, our team includes a psychosocial counsellor who accompanies the development of social-emotional skills, as well as a learning support specialist who intervenes directly in the classroom to provide targeted activities and to support early learning.

Expressing Themselves with Confidence, in French

To facilitate the integration of our allophone students, a qualified teacher leads weekly French language support workshops. These workshops are integrated directly into the class schedule. Learning takes place through dynamic and adapted methods: interactive discussion activities, visual supports and pictograms, and playful use of children’s literature.
