Childventures Continues To Offer Full- Day JK/ SK - Joining Ontario Government's Early Learning Init
Online, November 2, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Childventures Early Learning Academy, premier childcare centres in Toronto, announces its commitment to offer full- day junior and senior kindergarten programs to 4- 5 year olds at all of their 4 day care centers located in Burlington, Vaughan, Ancaster and Richmond Hill.
This decision stems from research that clearly states that full- day JK/ SK make transition to grade 1 smoother and easier, equipping the child with a solid foundation for future learning.
Coinciding with the Provincial Ontario Government's early learning initiative to provide full- day kindergarten for all children by 2014, Childventures, through its blend of Montessori, High Scope and Core Knowledge curriculum, stimulates the overall development of the child and fosters a love for humanity and an interest in the world around them.
Research conducted over an extended period that covers a major portion of North America reveals that full- day learning for children early in life helps improve their reading, writing and math skills and provides a strong foundation for future learning. This enjoyable kindergarten experience - on par with school timings- develops in the minds of children an inclination to learn and a longing to be a part of the regular school experience to take place in their future.
The full- day JK/SK offered at Childventures takes particular care to ensure that each and every child benefits from being able to socialize with others, leading to the development of their academic and social skills necessary for future success.
Data collected further reveals that parents as a group whole heartedly welcome the full- day JK/SK over half day kindergartens as, apart from its ability to guarantee all round development for their children, it ensures that while they are in their office, their children are in a productive, learning environment.
Full-day JK/SK programs also provide a greater number of professionally qualified and experienced teachers, bringing down in the process the student- teacher ratio and ensuring individual care and attention.
Research reported in the past 10 years has found more consistent positive academic outcomes for children enrolled in all-day kindergarten (Cryan, Sheehan, Wiechel, & Bandy-Hedden, 1992; Elicker & Mathur, 1997; Hough & Bryde, 1996; Koopmans, 1991).
