Waterloo Region kindergarten care earns top praise Kindergarten
Feb 09, 2015 By Jeff Outhit WATERLOO REGION — A scholar has high praise for how this community provides extended care to thousands of kindergarten students, before and after school.
“Waterloo is, in fact, a leader across the country,” said Zeenat Janmohamed, an education researcher out of the University of Toronto.
“Families understand that if they move to Waterloo, they have access to the type of programs that very few communities in Ontario do. I think in that way you’ve provided as a region an attraction to families with young children.”
Janmohamed is among the authors of a new study into the implementation of all-day kindergarten, a key government initiative costing Ontario taxpayers $1.5 billion a year.
