Dr. Charles E. Pascal's report, "With our best future in mind," advises Premier Dalton McGuinty on the implementation of full day learning for 4- and 5-year-olds in Ontario. The report came out on June 15.
Under the recommendations, neighbourhood public school will be the hub of every community, where parents will get everything from prenatal advice and nutrition counselling to childcare for those under four, full-day kindergarten, and before and after and summer school programming.
Work will begin in 2010, as per McGuintys campaign promise in 2007.
