About Kindergarten

Kindergarten is a special time in the life of a young child. Saskatoon Public Schools are open to all children and dedicated to embracing every student in a welcoming and safe environment. We understand the importance of early learning. Our kindergarten classes are small to encourage individualized education and include a strong literacy component.

If your child will be 5 years old by Dec. 31, 2026, they can start kindergarten in September 2026.

Applications are reviewed by a school team and priority is given to children who reside in the school catchment area (neighbourhood) and who require additional time to develop kindergarten readiness skills.

Transportation

Contact your school to find out if transportation is available for your location. When a student qualifies for transportation, parents/caregivers register for transportation through the school. Bus service is only available at the start and end of the school; there is no midday bus transportation available to/from the school. More information is available here: Transportation - Saskatoon Public Schools (spsd.sk.ca).

Kindergarten Open Houses

We host kindergarten open houses so families can peek inside the school, meet staff, and explore the different program options available. These take place during January and February at most schools.
