Getting ready to choose a kindergarten can be both exciting and overwhelming. The earlier you start preparing, the better. All CKP kindergartens will welcome you to visit and ask questions.
Here are some questions to ask the teacher that may make your decision easier:
- What is the philosophy at this kindergarten?
- What skills, qualifications and experience do the teachers and educators have?
- How will you communicate with me throughout my child’s time at kinder?
- How will my family’s needs, culture and eliefs be taken into account at kindergarten?
- How is this kindergarten inclusive?
- How do you observe and plan for my child’s learning and development?
- How can families get involved in the kindergarten year?
- How will you help my child to get ready for lifelong learning?
