Toward the Seamless Day: Integrating Early Childhood Programs
Colley, Sue
Education Canada, v45 n2 p32-35 Spr 2005
This article profiles Toni Schweitzer, a parent who has a fantastic kindergarten program for her four-year-old twins. The program runs from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the local community school where certified teachers and early childhood educators work side by side to offer a child-centred program that covers her entire working day. The program is part of "Toronto First Duty," a pilot project operating in five sites in Toronto, bringing together and integrating early years services to children and families in their communities. This three-year project is designed to demonstrate how existing early childhood and family programs can be transformed into a system for children 0-6 years and to explore possible options for integration of kindergarten and other ECEC services. Young children will benefit from an integrated early childhood education that meets their own developmental needs and the personal needs of their family. (Contains 13 notes.)
