The senior Kindergarten Teacher will be member of the Lexington Public School Staff. Children registered in the program will be part of an extended Lexington Public School Community and take part in Lexington events while learning at the Butterfly Learning Centre. BLC will provide an a morning and afternoon snack and parents are to supply a bagged lunch. As well, the afternoon program will have a focus on the Wings of Discovery Curriculum currently being piloted at the Butterfly Learning Centre.

Based on an innovative partnership between the Butterfly Learning Centre and the Waterloo Region District School Board, families of Junior and Senior Kindergarten aged children can benefit from a new SEAMLESS day that the program provides. 

Children involved will attend kindergarten every other day for a full day of kindergarten managed and delivered by a teacher from the board. The children will receive care from the BLC qualified Early Childhood Teachers before and after school.  On the opposite days they will receive care from the Butterfly Learning Centre Early Childhood Teachers.  The entire program will be conducted at Lexington Public School, located at 431 Forestlawn Road in Waterloo.
