Press release from the AECEO regarding the implementation of full-day learning from With our best future in mind: Implementing early learning in Ontario.
Excerpts from press release:
“Dr. Charles Pascal was not talking about kindergarten in his report but rather a new full-day program for four and five-year-olds that incorporates the very best that two professions – early childhood educators and certified teachers – have to offer our young people,” affirmed Eduarda Sousa, Executive Director of the AECEO.
…
Early childhood educators are uniquely trained and experienced in early childhood development and have complementary skills and experience when paired with certified teachers, who are uniquely qualified to prepare children for success as they enter the primary grades.
“We are looking forward to forging professional relationships with teachers as we move into a new system,” says Sousa.
