Registration for children starting Kindergarten in September 2020 at schools in the Sooke School District 62 (SD62) will be available in January 2020:
- January 13 – 17, 2020 – French Immersion Kindergarten & Nature Kindergarten
- January 27 – 31, 2020 – General Kindergarten Registration
This is an important announcement for families and caregivers of children who will attend Kindergarten beginning in September of 2020.
“All SD62 elementary schools offer full day kindergarten for our youngest learners,” says SD62. To be registered, children must turn five years of age by December 31 in the same calendar year that they begin school.
SD62 serves families with public education in Langford, Colwood, Highlands, Metchosin, Sooke, Juan de Fuca (East Sooke, and west of Sooke out to Port Renfrew), and parts of View Royal. The 27 schools in SD62 are geographically located in Langford, Colwood and Sooke.

Parents who are interested in having their child registered in Nature Kindergarten *must* attend a Nature Kindergarten info session prior to registration.
In the past all Kindergarten registration has taken place at the same time in SD62 (in the last week of January) but this created challenges for parents and caregivers whose children did not get a spot in one of the specialized programs due to limited space and high demand.
Moving the registration dates for Nature Kindergarten and French Immersion Kindergarten to the earlier dates will allow those families ample time to participate in General Kindergarten Registration.
