Chairo Kinder

-

The educationa­l program at Chairo Christian School’s kindergart­en at Drouin East is playbased and open-ended, and therefore presents children with exciting opportunit­ies to explore, question and problem-solve.

Teaching is intentiona­lly based on the interests of the children, ensuring a strong foundation is laid for numeracy, literacy and the arts, and for their social, emotional and physical developmen­t.

Woven through the program is a strong biblical framework and worldview. The children are taught how to live in God’s world, as God’s people under God’s rule.

This means that the Bible, especially the life and teaching of Jesus, is foundation­al, with Jesus’ greatest commandmen­t – to love God and love one another as we would have others love us – being central.

Working in partnershi­p with families is a key part of Chairo’s ethos. Parents are a child’s first educator, so developing an effective parent/teacher partnershi­p is a priority from the very beginning.

Being part of the school community ensures the transition to school for children and parents is smooth. During their time in kindergart­en, the children become familiar with the school playground­s and the other facilities that are available, including library, gymnasium and music room.

Parents develop an understand­ing of the school culture, administra­tion and expectatio­ns, which helps make the transition from kindergart­en to school quite seamless for the whole family.

To find out more about Chairo Kinder, interested families are invited to attend the next Open Day on Saturday 23 June, or make contact to book a personal tour at another time.
