Early Childhood Programs
Early years programming in Medicine Hat Public School Division is child centered and is reflective of the Guiding Principles set out by Alberta Education. Optimal Learning Environments combined with early Intervention builds solid brain architecture. Children learn through Play. We build, pretend, get messy, move and explore together - inspiring curiosity. We offer a variety of programs and settings providing early learning support for children who are 3 - 5 years of age by December 31. Programs offer language-rich play-based environments; a multi-disciplinary team of professionals work together to provide programming designed to enhance language, social, physical, intellectual, creative, cultural and emotional development. Educators provide rich and varied opportunities that recognize children learn and develop at different rates and in different ways.
Parent & Child Engagement
Parents are the child’s first and most important teacher! As part of our Early Years programming, we offer parent and child engagement sessions throughout the school year. In the sessions you will learn how to engage your child in play to support their overall development. Watch for posters and Edsby notifications for more details about available sessions, once enrolled with MHPSD.
