Amanda .... Kindergarten is not mandatory in Ontario but I have only ever heard of two parents who chose to keep their child out of jk and that was because the child's birthday was at the end of dec and they felt they weren't ready to start school so they held them back a year. 99% of parents can't wait for the child to go to jk so they don't have to pay daycare fees anymore .... I fully believe this is why full day kindergarten was introduced .... McGuinty needed to get votes and this is how he did it ..... Kindergarten is now "play based" so in essence its just free daycare. But it's a huge financial strain on the Province.Quote:
