KG curriculum emphasizes developing students skills through purposeful play giving them the opportunity to discover, apply and acquire new life skills that will meet their social, physical, intellectual, and cultural needs. “Children at play are highly motivated and capable of intense concentration”. Alberta Kindergarten Statement, 2008. Creativity is one of the most important skills to develop at the KG level in order to enable students to develop their critical thinking and learning abilities. The Alberta Curriculum emphasizes the fact that children come from different backgrounds and with a variety of experiences, therefore, it supports each child’s prior knowledge, skills, attitudes, learning pace, personal traits, interests and goals, and preferred learning styles.
