Kindergarten Registration
Families with children who turn four or five in 2026 can register for Kindergarten beginning January 16.
Through exploration, play and inquiry, Kindergarten helps children develop the academic, critical thinking and social skills they need to thrive in Grade 1 and beyond. Skilled and caring teams of certified teachers and early childhood educators work together to support every child in a welcoming, inclusive environment.
All schools offer before and after care programs. Check your school’s website or our before and after care directory for details. Contact providers early to secure your spot.
Families can register online, in person or by mail or phone. Learn more about Kindergarten programs and how to register at www.yrdsb.ca/kindergarten or contact your local school.
French Immersion Registration

French Immersion is an optional program, designed for children whose first language is not French. In Grades 1, 2 and 3, all subjects are taught in French. Starting in Grade 4, time is shared equally between French and English instruction.
Information sessions for French Immersion will take place in French Immersion schools on January 15, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
Program locations and additional information is available on the school board website. If families are unable to attend the information session, they can hear about the French Immersion program on the Tune In YRDSB: French Immersion Podcast or watch this short video about French Immersion.
