Registration for all TDSB English Kindergarten programs will now begin in January! This change aligns with other system-wide application processes, making it easier for families to plan and decide on the best program options for their children.

Children who will be four by December 31, 2025, are eligible to start Junior Kindergarten in September 2025. Families can register their child online at tdsb.on.ca/kindergarten or in person at the school. 

*Remember, even if you register online, you will need to validate your registration information in person at the school.* 

Visit the Kindergarten at the TDSB, Before- and After-School Programs and Extended Day Programs webpages for more information.

Please note:

• Only parents or legal guardians can register a child for TDSB programs.
• There is a separate process to apply for optional attendance. If you wish to register your child at an elementary alternative school or elementary academy, please contact the school directly for more information about requirements and the registration process.
• Early French Immersion: At the TDSB, the Early French Immersion program begins in Junior Kindergarten (JK). The application process for Early French Immersion takes place in November. Complete information can be found at www.tdsb.on.ca/french and specifically at Early French Immersion .
