The Booker School's
Early Enrolment Program
The Booker School offers an opportunity for students to join our Pre-Primary classroom early for those that are showing school readiness. Our Early Years program offers a gentle start to academics where children play and learn about the world around them through inquiry. Our aim is to nurture a love of learning across all the subjects from an early age and our Pre-Primary students get French, Music, Physical Education specialists as well as the other subjects through their Homeroom Teacher.
Parent Testimonial
An amazing school with a great sense of community. Ms. Liz in Early Years is so supportive and welcoming. I feel like they truly understand how to facilitate children to learn in a way that makes sense for them. I would recommend The Booker School to anyone.

Defining School Readiness
We understand that our little ones may have accidents every so often, but school readiness for us really comes down to the following three things:
​
Getting outdoor/indoor clothes on independently
Eating independently
Using the bathroom independently
Tuition & Child Care Receipts
If you are looking at the Pre-Primary program, you will be eligible for a Child Care Receipt for 100% of tuition to apply to your family accounting.
​
For mid-year enrolments, we calculate tuition pro-rated. For example, January-June is 60% of our academic year, so tuition will be discounted accordingly.
As our tuition also covers our After School Program, we offer child care receipts for up to 37.5% for families with children from Grade Primary to Grade 8.
