Kindergarten

With every theme, we create a document in response to a special request received. (Open routine-good morning) Print, laminate, and display next to your daycare entrance. Invite one child to greet the group each day. As they arrive, encourage children to pick how they wish to be greeted.

CIRCLE TIME

Before children arrive, stick pictures related to kindergarten on items throughout your daycare using adhesive paper. Try to integrate colorful items and let children discover the theme.

Every morning, have fun hiding an object associated with kindergarten in your daycare. The object mustn’t be completely hidden, but finding it must represent a challenge. As soon as children find it, photograph it. Print and display the picture on a special wall. Children will enjoy showing their parents what they found at the end of each day. Name a “child of the day” every morning and be sure to grant him privileges throughout the day.

Sit in a circle with your group and talk about everything they will learn once they are in kindergarten. Present various items that can be found in a kindergarten classroom.

SURPRISE DISCUSSION BOX

Before children arrive, fill a box with ribbons, yarn, bright party balloons, party horns, streamers, and flags. Seal the box with heavy tape and use a bold marker to draw question marks all over it. To present the theme to your group, have an accomplice deliver the box by ringing the doorbell or knocking on your door. Collect the package with your group and invite children to guess what is inside. Open the box together and use the items it contains to create a garland that can be used to decorate your daycare.

Puppets

Use puppets for their creative aspect. Improvise a theme-related discussion between puppets. Invite children to participate by bringing the puppet of their choice to life. You will find many puppet models in the Educatall club.

Circle time questions:

• Do you know someone who is in kindergarten?
• Have you ever visited a kindergarten classroom? What did you see?
• Can you name things that we learn in kindergarten?
• Can you name a kindergarten activity or game?
• Do you look forward to going to kindergarten?
• What means of transportation can be used to go to school?

The welcome chart

Your daycare entrance must be welcoming and friendly for both children and their parents. In order to help children develop a sense of belonging within the group and the daycare environment, a welcome chart is important. This chart will be used to identify the children who are present each day. Children can display their picture with the help of their parents when they arrive each morning or with your help later in the day. You may choose to decorate the chart with illustrations associated with your current theme, the season, or an upcoming holiday. It will decorate your entrance and must be set up so that everyone can see it. Many early childhood educators find using the welcome chart quite demanding. If this is your case, simply use it to continuously display children’s pictures and change the decorations when you have the time. Don’t forget to write each child’s name below his/her picture. If you are absent one day, this will help the person replacing you identify the children in your group. (Open model-welcome chart) Print, laminate, and display the chart or create your own.

Kindergarten tree

Create decorations linked to kindergarten. Give each child a tree branch. Invite them to decorate a metal can and fill it with sand so their branch can stand upright in it.

Hang the decorations made by the children in your group in their kindergarten tree.

ROUTINES AND TRANSITIONS

Invite them to draw something they associate with kindergarten on it (apple, backpack, lunch box, school bus, book, etc.). Use their drawings to discuss the theme.

The ringing bell

Every time you move from one activity to another, ring a small bell to signal an activity change. Explain to your group how, at school, a bell rings to indicate different times during the day. For example, a bell rings when it is time for recess, for lunch, to go home, etc.

Children take turns picking an item out of the grocery bag and stating if it belongs in their lunch box or not. If it does, they toss it in the lunch box. Otherwise, they throw it in the bin. Example: If a child picks a can of peas, he could say that it doesn’t belong in the lunch box because he would need a can opener to be able to eat the peas at school. Note that there are no incorrect answers!

Let’s explore a school playground

With your group, visit a school playground in your neighbourhood. Let children play in the different play structures, discover the various areas, and explore the corners that can be used for relaxation (benches, under a tree, etc.). Practice lining up in front of the school’s main entrance or next to the gate, as if the children in your group were going to get on the school bus.
