Pre-School Education Programs

Pre-school (or Sadochok) programs set the tone for language learning within a comfortable Ukrainian cultural and social environment. Most pre-school programs are fun and educational, offering a blend of language, games, songs, music, stories, crafts, snack time and play time. Pre-school sessions are usually two hours in length, offered on either two or three days of the week.  Parent volunteers and community sponsors oversee administrative details such as program location, finances and field trips, while the teacher organizes the curriculum and other related program details.  

Ukrainian Kindergarten programs take place during regular school hours, with children meeting every second day throughout the school year.  Programs are led by qualified  teachers who teach the Ukrainian language through the Kindergarten curriculum. In the bilingual education classroom, Ukrainian language use is promoted during the full day.  In regular Kindergarten classes, a percentage of the day is devoted to Ukrainian language instruction.
