The Kindergarten Parent/Guardian Questionnaire allows you to provide your school with specific information to support the transition to school. Your child’s Kindergarten educators will use the information you share to help to create an inclusive and welcoming transition to Kindergarten for your child. We appreciate all information that you are able to provide.
The Ministry EYE@K Questionnaire (Early Years Experiences at Kindergarten) will be offered to all families registering their child to Kindergarten for the first time. Answering the questions is voluntary. Responses gathered will help Regional planning tables coordinate and improve the programs and services for families and young children in the community.
