Renovations underway to accommodate full-day program QM! Agency Huron Expositor All kindergarteners will get the full-day experience this fall. Both the Avon Maitland District and Huron -Perth Catholic school boards are ready to roll out the pro- gram at schools that don't yet offer full-day kinder- garten, as per the provin- cial deadline. "We're just starting to get everything into place but by September all of our schools with primary divi- sions will have full-day kindergarten," said Dawne Boerson, superintendent of education at HPCDSB. Not all school boards can say the same. An Aurora school, for example, won't have any kindergarten at all this fall when the school switches to French immer- sion only. The language program typically starts at Grade 1. "That's not in our plan," said Jane Morris, superin- tendent for the AMDSB. "That's not something we would be considering." There are two French immersion schools in Stratford, Bedford and Anne Hathaway. Jeanne Sauve Catholic School offers French immersion for the HPCDSB and will be renovated this summer to accommodate full-day kindergarten. Other boards are having some issues regarding ren- ovations to accommodate the program. Both local boards are at least in the process of sending out tenders. There are seven schools in the AMDSB that require some form of work before the fall. Bedford and Upper Thames public school require some major renovations to make room for the program. "We tendered earlier and work has begun at both," said Jane Morris superintendent of education at AMDSB. Bedford will require three reno- vated classrooms and one new one. "Every available space is being used because we have to close off the construction site," Morris said. "Four classrooms is a fairly large undertaking." There's been some shuffling to make it work. The kindergarten classes are now in the music room, music is now in the computer lab and the computer lab is in the library. At Mornington public school it's expected there will be an addition. Upper Thames will be retrofitted to make five classrooms, where there's currently an open concept area, and washrooms. It's all worth it, educators say. "We've had some very positive out- comes for kids. The new approach (play -based learning) is more in line with what they need developmen- tally," Boerson said. Morris said going into the fifth year of the program, school boards know how best to run the programs. Teachers and early childhood edu- cators bring specific skills that make the program unique, she added.
