Kindergarten · Vaughan
Is your child truly ready for Grade 1?
The only kindergarten in the GTA built around real school readiness for Russian-speaking families - without your child losing the language at home.
The choice no parent should have to make
Most families are forced to pick one. We refuse the tradeoff.
You want your child ready for the Ontario system and still speaking Russian at the dinner table. Almost every program makes you choose.
What you're usually offered
Large classes where a quiet child gets lost in the crowd
Programs that don't prepare a child for Grade 1 in Ontario
"School readiness" that means colouring sheets and circle time
A child who slowly stops speaking Russian to fit in
What Yes!School does
Small groups where every child is seen, challenged, and supported
Ontario curriculum, taught beyond the minimum in literacy, math, science & French
Genuine readiness: reading, reasoning, focus, and confidence for Grade 1
English instruction, with Russian and Ukrainian support when a child needs it

More than lessons
We care for your child, not just teach them.
A child learns best when they feel safe, settled, and well cared for. Mornings start with a snack, and lunch is a proper hot meal - a soup to start, then a main with meat and a side. Children who stay for after-school care get something fresh from the kitchen in the afternoon. Our teachers know every child by name, notice when someone is having a hard day, and treat your child the way you would want them treated when you are not in the room.
Our Approach
We're a private school that happens to start at JK - not a daycare with worksheets.
We could list everything that makes us different, but it's easier to show you a few of the things that matter most.
A curriculum that goes further
We start with the Ontario curriculum and build well beyond it. There's more to how we teach than fits on a page - the best way to see it is to come watch a real day.
Soft skills, taught on purpose
Focus, persistence, listening, recovering from a mistake. We treat these as skills to be learned every day, not traits a child either has or doesn't.
Reading, writing, and speaking
Children build real literacy - reading carefully, writing clearly, speaking with confidence - and begin French along the way, taught at the pace each child is ready for.
Individual attention, inside a real class
Small groups mean teachers know where each child is and what they're ready for next. A child ahead isn't held back, and a child who needs more time isn't left behind.
Your child can be ready for Grade 1 and keep their Russian.
Instruction is in English, in line with our Ontario registration, that's what builds genuine readiness for Grade 1. But our teachers speak Russian, Ukrainian, and Hebrew, so a child whose first language isn't English is never lost in the room. They're supported in their home language when they need it, especially in the early years, while they grow confident in English. No child has to give up one language to learn another.
