Early Education

Early learning for your little one!

The Early Education Program at Immanuel Christian Elementary School offers vibrant, play-based learning where our youngest students can grow and develop in a Christian environment! This program offers current ICS parents an opportunity to have their Early Education Program (EEP) age children attend the same school as their siblings. It also gives parents the opportunity to have continuity of programming and location for their children, Early Education age through elementary school years.

For 2022-2023 EEP registration info, please visit: Early Childhood Services | Lethbridge School Division (lethsd.ab.ca)

The Early Education Program Expression of Interest for the 2022/2023 school year will close on February 18, 2022. Placements will be communicated to families by March 11. If you are interested in our Early Education Program but missed out on the Expression of Interest, please contact Melinda Moore, Administrative Assistant, for Lethbridge School Division for more information.

There is an annual Society Membership fee of $250. The Society fee is something that will already be paid if parents have students in other grades at Immanuel Christian Schools - it is incorporated into full school fees.

If you are a new family, the $250 membership fee will be invoiced to you and can be paid via cash, cheque, or e-transfers; it can be divided up into several payments.

2. Monthly program fees are $200/month (4 half days per week). These fees are paid via School Cash Online once school starts.

3. In addition to this, parents are required to pay a $40 registration fee (as per Lethbridge School Division Policy), in cash at the time of application to hold their spot.
