Our Values

We are a 4R Model School designed to develop:

Our School

The school comprises 4,000 square feet and, in appearance, co-exists comfortably in the primarily residential area. Open space, glass and light gives a feeling of autonomy, while subtly-enclosed group areas help to create an atmosphere of belonging. The building, designed to be part of the community, is a comfortable place for children, staff, and parents to meet, mingle and learn.

Recognition

The year 2009 marked Kinderschool's 45th anniversary of being in operation with "York Region's School of Character" Award which is presented to a school that has systematically developed a sustainable character development initiative that positively impacts the climate and culture of their school and community.

Meet Our Staff!

Kinderschool staff are qualified, creative, motivated and enjoy work-sharing and child care. Each room has a teacher who is E.C.E. qualified and registered with the college of Early Childhood Educators. We are licensed by the Ministry of Education. All staff is Adlerian trained with skills upgraded annually to ensure the latest child care development advances are passed on to your children. An extremely low turnover rate ensures your family enjoys the same favorite teachers year after year. Between us we have over 150 years of combined teaching experience and we are mothers collectively to 26 children.

Althea - Director & Founder

As a teacher in the public system, originally, Althea saw a critical need for teachers and parents to promote respectful, equality-based principals for working with children - to win and joyfully earn their respect, co-operation and participation - as opposed to making demands for constructive behaviour through the use of coercive, manipulative and, or punitive measures to force or 'encourage' it.
