As Government announced in the 2009 Speech from the Throne, British Columbia is making full day kindergarten available to all five-year-olds in the province. The Ministry of Education is phasing in universal access to full day kindergarten over 2 years beginning in September 2010. Full day kindergarten will be available for up to half of B.C.’s eligible students in September 2010. By September 2011, full day kindergarten will be available across the province. An informative pamphlet has been developed to help parents better understand the full day kindergarten program. The pamphlet includes information on the benefits of full day kindergarten programs, answers to commonly asked questions regarding full day kindergarten, and web links to find out more information.
