The Rainy River District School Board is moving ahead with plans to introduce the province's early learning program to three more schools.
Education Director Heather Campbell says some consultation led to J.W. Walker School in Fort Frances, Donald Young in Emo and Sturgeon Creak near Barwick being selected.
"We did a consultation in April with school communities, with members from the child care providers, Aboriginal Head Starts to talk about the needs in within those areas," says Campbell, "the challenges in implemented the early learning program and possibly the extended day programming"
Provincial approval will allow the programs to be offered beginning September 2013.
