Current learning expectations for kindergarteners in the province follow the province's 2016 Kindergarten Program which emphasizes learning through exploration and play. Next school year, kindergarten learning will include evidence-based, systematic, and explicit instruction in reading, as well as strengthened learning in mathematics, science and technology, according to a Ministry of Education memo sent to schools this week. Introduction to fractions, adding and subtracting to 10 and vocabulary and reading fluency are among some of the updated curriculum requirements.
