The Rainy River District School board plans to accelerate implementation of the third year in the province's early learning program.
Education Director Heather Campbell said an additional class will be established at Robert Moore School in Fort Frances where earlier learning starts next year.
"We have to absord some of the costs for year two," she said, "But it's minimal overall impact to the board as far as far as the actual costs of it's full implementation in year two."
Campbell noted that the move also meets certain Ministry of Education requirements for the program.
