There are three Broad Areas of Learning that reflect Saskatchewan's Goals of Education. An effective Kindergarten program contributes to the Goals of Education by helping students achieve knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to these Broad Areas of Learning.

In Kindergarten, children naturally wonder, discover, and explore their environments. Within these environments, children are encouraged to have a positive disposition towards, and a passion for, learning. This passion can be developed by offering children holistic learning experiences so they can apply their knowledge and skills in their daily life. As children engage in meaningful play and inquiry, they become more knowledgeable, confident, and creative lifelong learners.

In Kindergarten, purposefully designed environments enable children to develop a positive sense of self, while learning to respect their own and others' ways of seeing the world. A positive environment encourages children to interact with each other, explore who they might become, and learn to appreciate diverse perspectives. In Kindergarten, children continue to develop self-knowledge, an understanding of others, and learn to build community.

Children in Kindergarten develop the courage, confidence, and commitment to be actively involved citizens through holistic learning opportunities. These learning opportunities enable children to become empowered to act as responsible citizens. As children are exposed to natural and constructed environments, they develop an appreciation for sustainable living. Children in Kindergarten seek to discover who they are, envision who they might become, imagine the possibilities, and provide new ideas for building a sustainable future.
