Full Day Kindergarten Exemplar Videos

To support the introduction of full day kindergarten, the BC Ministry of Education, in partnership with the British Columbia Principals' and Vice Principals' Association and the British Columbia Primary Teachers' Association hired Maria LeRose & Associates to produce a series of exemplar videos for teachers, principals and district staff.

Developed as a supplement to the Full Day Kindergarten Program Guide, the videos provide insightful examples of rich, age-appropriate activities and learning environments for kindergarten students. Educators, principals and researchers discuss important kindergarten topics: the learning environment, the role of the educator, play-based learning, inquiry or project-based learning, and self-regulation and learning.
