When I started working in an Ontario Kindergarten classroom, I quickly became overwhelmed with the Ontario Kindergarten Program document. It is huge! I started reading it, but there was so much information, and I didn’t know where to start or how to implement what I was reading in the classroom.
Flash forward to 9 years later, and I still don’t know the whole Program, but I have a much better understanding of it. So I decided to record a video series to get Ontario kindergarten educators excited to learn more about the Program and not feel overwhelmed by all the information it contains.

The Ontario Kindergarten Program
The first step to becoming familiar with the Program document? Read it! You can download a PDF version or order a hard copy. The printed version is my preference – I love to highlight and tab it so I can return to it as needed (you can see that my copy has been used quite a bit!)
Once you have your copy of the Ontario Kindergarten Program, you are ready to dive in!
