The students in our Kindergarten program are immersed in play-based learning experiences. In a play-based learning environment, children have the opportunity to explore, experiment, problem-solve and learn in imaginative ways. Students are led through hands-on experiences that allow their innate curiosity and imagination to grow. Students are taught the Ontario Curriculum with an emphasis on their own exploration and interests. Our Kindergarten program thoroughly prepares students for their educational journey in the coming years.
Jolly Phonics is a comprehensive program based on the proven, fun and multi-sensory phonics method that gets children reading and writing from an early age. This means that we teach letter sounds as well as the alphabet. The 42 letter sounds are phonic building blocks that children, with the right tools, use to decode the English language. When reading a word, they recognize the letters and blend together the respective sounds; when writing a word they identify the sounds and write down the corresponding letters. We have chosen to use this program at Nile Academy because it provides an amazing foundation for little learners to read and write.
Nile Academy uses the Pearson Mathology program. This program was developed in conjunction with experienced educators and is designed to engage students with interactive tools, math big books, and digital math resources and lessons. This program assists in building the mathematical groundwork that students will continue to foster in the coming years.
