Our Curriculum

St. Josaphat’s Sadochok strives to promote a strong Ukrainian Catholic cultural foundation, thus enriching the Canadian cultural mosaic. These goals are fostered by providing the child with:

  • Stimulating material and activities (examples: arts and crafts, puzzles, books, music, blocks),
  • Ukrainian language instruction in the form of stories, songs, dramatizations, games and Teacher directives,
  • Free play to select activities that reflect the child’s individual needs, interests and development level,
  • A clean, safe, organized and attractive facility,
  • In-house presentations and special events, and
  • An involved commitment from the Ukrainian Catholic clergy and parishes of the Edmonton area.
