Full-Day Kindergarten Registration Now Underway For Fall 2012

Ontario Giving Children The Strongest Start

Queens Park - Ontario is encouraging parents of four- and five-year-olds across the province to plan ahead for September 2012 and register their children in full-day kindergarten.

Almost half of Ontario’s four- and five-year-olds will attend full-day kindergarten this fall. Many schools have already begun registering children for the upcoming school year.

September 2012 marks the third year of the province’s new full-day kindergarten program. In full-day kindergarten classrooms, teachers and early childhood educators work together to help students learn, play and grow. Full-day kindergarten will be available in all elementary schools by September 2014.

Giving children a strong start in school while helping parents balance their work and family lives is part of the McGuinty government’s plan to support student success and secure a brighter future for all Ontarians .
