Full-Day Kindergarten Announced

Two schools in Atikokan will be among the first in the Rainy River district to offer full-day learning to four and five-year olds.

North Star Community School and St. Patrick's School were among first six hundred in the province to offer the program this fall.

Education Minister Kathleen Wynne says it's critical for children to get a quick start.

Premier Dalton McGuinty says it's his goals to have the programs expanded into every school in the province by 2015.
