Pre K Information 2022/23
Success Starts Early
Battle River School Division offers 4-year-old PreK programming in Camrose (Ecole Sifton School, Jack Stuart School, Sparling School) and Tofield (C.W. Sears School).
Programs run four half-days per week (Monday - Thursday) with hours of operation varying from school to school.
Children with birth dates between January 1, 2018 - December 31, 2018 may enroll in the 2022/23 program. (Programming for 3yr-old children who have met criteria for Early Intervention Support may be available. Contact us for information regarding whether your child may qualify.)
BRSD is in the process of applying to have its PreK programs licensed. In doing so, this will allow families to access the financial supports coming out of the Federal-Provincial child care agreement.

Pre-Kindergarten is a pay-for-use program.
A $150 payment is required at time of registration (this will be applied towards the final month’s fee payment). Placement in the PreK program is not guaranteed until registration payment is received.
