Kindergarten at
Trinity Christian School

A Christ-Centred Beginning to Learning

At Trinity Christian School, our Kindergarten program is designed to nurture young minds and hearts in a loving, faith-filled environment. Our primary goal is to make each child aware of God’s love and to explore the wonders of His creation. Through a balanced approach that fosters intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth, we encourage students to live as God’s children in His service.

Our Beliefs About
Children and Learning

We believe that every child:

  • Is created in the image of God and deeply loved by Him.
  • Learns best in a safe, nurturing environment.
  • Thrives when they experience achievement and self-worth.
  • Develops at their own unique pace.
  • Builds knowledge through play, exploration, and repetition.
  • Benefits from active, hands-on learning experiences.

Kindergarten
Learning Framework

Our Kindergarten Learning Framework is built on a responsive approach that meets students where they are, supporting them in mastery of knowledge and skills, character development, and the ability to create meaningful, beautiful work.

Numeracy

Students develop a strong foundation in mathematics by using hands-on manipulatives to explore:

  • Patterning and sequencing
  • Counting and number sense
  • Sorting and classifying
  • Comparing and graphing

Literacy

Our literacy program follows the Science of Reading approach, emphasizing:

  • Phonemic awareness – Recognizing sounds within words
  • Phonics – Learning the 44 sounds of the English language
  • Vocabulary and comprehension – Engaging with texts to develop understanding and communication skills
  • Writing skills – Encouraging students to experiment with writing to express ideas

  • Bible stories, devotions, and prayer
