Full-Day Learning Act passed: update and links

Ontario is one step closer to implementing full-day learning for four-and five-year-olds across the province. The legislature passed the Full-Day Early Learning Statute Law Amendment Act, 2010 on April 27. The legislation included a number of amendments, such as clarifying the roles of teachers and early childhood educators in full-day early learning classrooms. See Ontario Passes Full-Day Learning Act.

In addition, the government will address the need for child care centres to have the flexibility they need as four- and five-year-olds move into the integrated before- and after-school program.

Ontario is also supporting the child care sector: see Province gives $51 million to stabilize day cares, and will help improve the delivery of other children’s services in a number of ways, including:

Full-day early learning is a key part of the government’s Open Ontario plan to strengthen education in Ontario. It will increase student achievement, build a stronger workforce and help break the cycle of poverty.

Please feel free to contact PCPC if you have any questions on how this FDL initiative may or may not impact on enrolment at your centre.
