LCSD offers MORE Kindergarten. We are proud to host three consistent days a week for Kindergarten Programming. That means an EXTRA MONTH of learning for your child.

Mother Teresa ECEC also offers a full day/five day a week program for Kindergarten.

We invite you to view our virtual tours for a look inside each school and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Please contact us for more information.

Welcome to Kindergarten in LCSD! 
Lloydminster Catholic School Division has expanded regular English and French Immersion Kindergarten programming from 50% to 60%. That means MORE Kindergarten for your child. This expanded program, known as Kindergarten Plus+, it is offered at Father Gorman Community School, St. Mary's Elementary School, St. Joseph Elementary School and École St. Thomas.  This allows for a schedule of three consistent full days each week resulting in an easier and more regular schedule for child care. The added time, about 20 days per year, includes small groups of students working with teachers to further develop their pre-literacy and numeracy skills. Each school's program is parallel, focusing on the physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual needs of your child. Your child will be exposed to a multitude of activities that promote individual growth and development.
