Exciting News!!

Kindergarten Registration for September 2024 is NOW OPEN 

Parents and guardians can register their child online at: www.ycdsb.ca/admissions 

Starting Kindergarten is an exciting time in a young child’s life, filled with new experiences and opportunities to learn and  grow. Kindergarten registration at the York Catholic District School Board will open for the 2024-25 school year that  starts in September, in January 2024. 

York Catholic’s Kindergarten program teaches children through inquiry and play-based learning methods. Teachers and  Early Childhood Educators work together in Kindergarten classrooms to support the unique needs of each child. 

Children explore their world through play and real-life experiences. In York Catholic’s Kindergarten program, students  actively engage in problem-solving and inquiry in an atmosphere that fosters fun and cooperation. The Kindergarten  program helps children develop a solid foundation for their future learning and growth by supporting their spiritual development and enhancing their social, emotional, cognitive, language and academic skills in a faith-filled, safe, caring,  nurturing and fun environment. 

Parents and/or guardians can register their child for Kindergarten online at www.ycdsb.ca/admissions or in person at the school, and will need to upload/present the supporting documents listed below, following their online registration submission. Parents of students  currently attending Junior Kindergarten at a York Catholic school do not need to re-register for Senior Kindergarten. 

Parents and/or guardians can look up the Kindergarten program in their area by using York Catholic’s online school  locator at locator.ycdsb.ca, or by calling the Admissions Department at 905-713-2711 or 416-221-5050.

∙ A baptismal certificate from a Roman Catholic Church or a Catholic Church in                           Communion with the Holy See of  Rome (child or parent) 

∙ Proof of child’s age
