Kindergarten

JK and SK

 

Great beginnings start here…

Book your tour today! Learn about our program, and get all your questions answered. Come and see why Milton families love Christian education at MCS! We accept applications year-round and new students may start mid-year.

During these critical early years, we lay the foundation for academic and social success by inspiring strong character and an early love of learning. Our Junior and Senior Kindergarten programs uniquely balance hands-on activities and pen-to-paper work. With the guidance and support of our passionate and experienced teachers, students build a sense of ownership of their education by exploring their individual interests and creativity in a vibrant Christian school environment. Kindergarten students at MCS gain a strong sense of pride in their work that results in a desire to learn and performance that often excels well beyond curriculum expectations.

How does the enrollment process work?

Step 1 - Discover if MCS is right for you: Book a tour or attend a Kindergarten Open House to see the school and meet some of our staff and students. Ask questions, learn about our programming, curriculum and more. Our principal conducts all private tours and is available throughout all Open Houses. Interested in a classroom visit? Your child can spend a day or half-day in the class she or he may be entering to get an even better “feel” of potential classmates, teachers, and school culture. If this is something you would like to do, just ask our principal.

Step 2 - Complete the enrollment package: After you’ve made an informed decision to enroll your child, you’ll complete and submit the following: enrollment form, immunization record, birth certificate and a $500 application fee. If you require financial assistance, please ask our principal about filling out a bursary application.

Step 3 - Make tuition payment arrangements: Once your enrollment package has been submitted, our Business Manager will reach out to make tuition payment arrangements which can consist of monthly or annual payments by credit card or cheque.

Step 4 - Get ready to join the MCS Community! Check out the Parent’s Handbook, follow our Facebook page, join the Milton Christian Education Association, and come to Meet the Teacher night at the end of August. We can’t wait to know your family!
