All-day kindergarten, the first program of its kind in North America, will be launched at several county schools on Sept. 7… “Investing” in four-and five-year-olds is the key to their success as they progress through elementary and secondary school, Dombrowsky said… The minister says the McGuinty government wants to phase in the program so that the areas where the need is greatest–such as a higher incidence of low-income families — are addressed first. Where there is demand, extended day programs will also be offered, she said.
