Full-Day Kindergarten Concerns


Full-day kindergarten is up and running across Ontario, but critics says the government still hasn't figured out the A-B-Cs of running the program.

Only 10 to 15 per cent of schools will offer after-hours child care that was a key component of the original plan.

Conservative critic Elizabeth Witmer says some school boards are siphoning money from other areas in the scramble to fund full-day kindergarten.

The program is currently being offered in Atikokan at North Star Community School and St. Patrick School.
