The Full Day Kindergarten Program Guide was developed to support teachers, principals and others in creating high quality full day programs for Kindergarten. It sets expectations for full day Kindergarten programs in British Columbia, summarizes current research findings, and suggests effective practices that can be put to immediate use in schools and Kindergarten classrooms. This guide is intended to help educators ensure that Kindergarten students benefits from experiences that reflect current knowledge about children’s learning and development.
The Full Day Kindergarten Program Guide builds on the philosophy of The Primary Program: A Framework for Teaching, and shares a vision of children as presented in the British Columbia Early Learning Framework.
