Providing A Good Start For Children And Making Life A Little Easier For Parents
Almost half of Ontario's four-and-five-year olds will benefit from full-day kindergarten in September 2012.
That school year, around 900 more schools will start offering full-day kindergarten -- which means that a total of about 120,000 children will benefit. Full-day kindergarten will be available in all elementary schools by September 2014.
A full day of learning early in life makes the transition to Grade 1 easier for both parents and children. Also, students who achieve early success in school are more likely to go on to postsecondary education.

"A strong start in school leads to a strong finish -- so more students graduate and go on to college, university or an apprenticeship. Full-day kindergarten is setting our children up for success -- and it's making things a little easier for parents today." – Dalton McGuinty Premier of Ontario |
