VSB On Our Way to Kindergarten events are for families/caregivers with children who will be entering kindergarten in the fall. Families will engage in fun, play-based activities, and have the opportunity to meet school and other community members. Each child will receive a resource bag with specially selected early learning materials. Included in the bags are helpful strategies for families to support a child’s development through play-based learning.

A Kindergarten Bag Resources page is also available so you can learn what's inside the bag and how to utilize these resources.

All Vancouver schools will host a On Our Way to Kindergarten session in April, May or June. Please contact your Neighbourhood School for more information.

Play-based learning is one of the most effective approaches to develop the foundational skills for success in school and in life.
