The framework for Foothills School Division's Kindergarten program is built upon ten basic principles drawn from Alberta Education's Kindergarten Program Statement: 

1. Childhoods differ depending on social and cultural circumstances.
2. Children's development is influenced, but not determined, by their early experiences.
3. Children interact and learn in a variety of contexts.
4. Children are co-constructors of knowledge and partners in learning.
5. Children are unique and active contributors to their learning.
6. Children construct and represent knowledge in a variety of ways.
7. Children are citizens and active participants in school and society.
8. Children are active collaborators in and users of assessment.
9. Children may require specialized programming and supports to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes that perpare them for later learning.
10. Children and their families may need coordinated community services to meet their needs.
