Westminster Full Day Kindergarten Program Showing Positive Results
LETHBRIDGE: In the spring of 2016, the Board of Trustees approved the establishment of a full-day kindergarten program at Westminster Elementary School.
The program was intended to be a three-year pilot, with the understanding the program would be assessed to determine its impact on students.
And if feedback from the first year is any indication, the pilot program is off to a solid start.
“Parents have expressed they really appreciate the programming,” said Westminster principal Jessica Rumer. “They’ve seen big differences in their children in terms of self-regulation skills and their development with literacy and numeracy.”
