Pending Ministry approval, full- day programming and extended - care early learning for. three-, four - and five -year-olds will be available in September, 2010 in the following schools: Clinton Public School (two classrooms), Milverton Public School (two classrooms), Downie Central Public School (two classroom,$), Ho - wick Central Public School (three classrooms) and Stratford's Romeo Public School (one classroom). Programming will run from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m., with regular Education Ministry curriculum being presented only during the regular school day: 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Outside of those hours, an Early Childhood Education (ECE) instruc- tor will deliver traditional daycare - style programming. Attendance in full day school (or an alternative such as home -school- ing) is not mandatory until a child reaches Senior Kindergarten age. It's expected that will remain in place. Likewise, at- tendance in the ECE-run pro- gramming . will be optional. If a child at- tends outside of regular school ANN • MON.

According to Avon Maitland busi- ness superintendent Janet Baird - Jackson, the five schools were chosen due to a variety of possible criteria, as stipulated by the Education Min- istry. These include the scarcity of ac- cessible daycare services in the com- munity, the availability of adequate space within the host schools, and an unsatisfactory success rate for the school in provincially -standardized tests. There must also be a high likeli- hood that the host school will remain open over the next five years. Asked about the renovations neces- sary in the schools to accommodate additional Kindergarten -style pro- gramming, Baird -Jackson said they will be minimal — which is what the Education Ministry wanted. However, she noted, the pre-exist- ing Huron County Board of Educa- tion diligently included specialized Kindergarten instructional spaces during recent construction and addi- tions. ' As a result, necessary changes will be negligible" in Clinton and Howick. The same can't be said for the pre-ex- isting Perth County board, however, so the board may have to purchase some additional Kindergarten -style equipment for the planned sites in Downie, Milverton and Stratford.
