All-day Learning Legislation Introduced

The planning is already underway, but the province only yesterday introduced the legislation to create all-day learning for four-and five year-olds.

St. Patrick's and North Star Community School in Atikokan will be the first in the district to offer the program.

Each class will include a teacher and an early childhood educator and up to 26 children, higher than the current primary class cap of 20 to 23 kids.

Parents can pay extra for child care before and after school with subsidies available for low-income families.
