Full-day kindergarten expanding

Premier Dalton McGuinty says 900 more Ontario schools will start offering full-day kindergarten in 2012.

The provincial government estimates about 120-thousand children will be in school full time by the fall of 20-12.
That would be almost half of the province’s four and five-year-olds.
So far, around 600 schools already have full-day kindergarten.
The new program will cost Ontarians an estimated $1.5 billion a year.
The Liberals — who are heading into an election on October 6th — have promised to extend all-day kindergarten to all elementary schools by September 2014.
