At SMS, we provide more than just childcare.
Our Junior Kindergarten program provides a tailored preschool curriculum, designed to give your child a strong educational start. With twelve months of personalized instruction from experienced educators, along with the option of hot lunches and after-school care, we ensure comprehensive support for your child's growth and development. We cultivate principled and balanced thinkers who are open-minded and reflective. Our caring educators nurture risk-takers, inquirers, and knowledgeable communicators, setting the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
Mentorship
Our youngest are guided and inspired by the older students they encounter daily, as well as by their peers in the Junior School.
THE SMS COMMUNITY
Junior Kindergarten classrooms are an integral part of our school community, providing numerous benefits:
- Seamless connection with the Kindergarten program and participation in assemblies where Junior Kindergarten students learn from older peers and build their confidence.
- Opportunities for both parent and student involvement in school-wide events.
- Our students graduate well-prepared and eager to enter Kindergarten.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
In the early years, we focus on character development, healthy habits, and a growth mindset alongside academics. Educators acknowledge good behaviour and guide students in virtues like patience and courtesy. Our Junior Kindergarten (JK) students are principled thinkers who make responsible choices, show respect, and care for others daily. They develop into balanced risk-takers, open-minded and reflective inquirers, knowledgeable and effective communicators through discussions and role-playing. These years are dedicated to exploration and building a strong foundation. Everyone is valued in our inclusive community, making our school a great place for all.
