Full-Day Early Learning Program
The Halton District School Board will provide a full day of learning to four- and five-year-olds as part of the province's plan to build a stronger school system and a well-educated workforce. The program will be phased-in over time, starting in September 2010.
Teachers and Early Childhood Educators will work together to help four- and five-year-olds learn during the regular school day. Schools will also offer extended day programs, before and after regular school hours, which will be led by registered Early Childhood Educators. There will be a reasonable fee for these programs, and subsidies will be available for some families, based on financial need. Fees will be determined locally by the school board.
Note: Please check the Halton District School Board website regularly. It will be updated as new information is available during this first year of implementation.
Kindergarten information and Registration forms may be accessed here.
