The preschool education program allows children to begin developing
certain intellectual, methodological, personal and social, and communications-related
competencies that are cross-curricular, and to explore topics that
are of interest to them in the broad areas of learning. The links
to these competencies and topics are embedded in the six preschool
competencies. The BAL and CCC are not to be specifically referenced,
as they are in the other cycles.
Observation is the favoured means of evaluation. It makes it possible
to follow the children's progress in the development of their competencies.
Observations will focus on
- attitudes,
- behaviours,
- processes
- strategies,
- productions.
