Background:

In 2011-2012, the Board undertook a comprehensive review of the French Second Language (FSL) programs (Core and Immersion), with the goal to ensure the continued delivery of high-quality and sustainable programs. This will coincide with the implementation of a refreshed French as a Second Language Curriculum from the Ministry of Education.

The review included literature research, analyzing other jurisdictional practices and public and internal input to both the Core and Immersion programs. Public input was sought through an independent organization, which conducted telephone interviews, an online survey and targeted focus groups with school councils. Internal input was gathered through focus groups and surveys, which included staff and students. Following the data gathering and analysis components of the review, the FSL Lead Team, chaired by K. Thurston, Director of Education, received and reviewed recommendations put forward by its FSL Advisory committee, chaired by Pat Zrihen, Principal on Assignment.

Director of Education K. Thurston, presented the final findings of the FSL Review with action items to continue to provide high-quality, sustainable French language programs to staff and trustees in June 2012.

Rationale:

This report is a summary of the key findings of the FSL Review, and operational changes to be communicated in 2012-2013 and implemented in 2013-2014.

Core French: • Infuse French in the primary grades through various subjects in an authentic way. • Raise the profile of French in all schools ( for example, in assemblies, opening exercises, newsletter, bilingual signing, character traits posters) and promote the benefit of knowing both Canada’s official languages. • Focus on authentic oral language use. • Provide varied professional learning opportunities for Core French teachers with a focus on co-work and differentiation. • Integrate technology effectively to engage students and to provide authentic and relevant topics of conversations.

French Immersion: • Establish consistency among all schools in YRDSB (both in hours and subjects). • Ensure consistency in special education services and accommodations. • Use existing vacant pupil spaces to create a variety of dual track programs.

Estimated Cost:

Not applicable.

Timeline:

The final findings of the FSL Review will be implemented for the 2013-2014 school year, which provides the 2012-2013 school year to put in place necessary supports and logistics, including communication internally and to the public.

Recommendation:

That the York Region District School Board receive the Review of French Second Language (FSL) Programming report for information.

Communications/Implementation Plan:

A comprehensive communication plan will be developed and implemented over the 2012-2013 school year and executed commencing in the 2013-2014 school year. These timelines are consistent with previous reports to the Board.

YORK REGION DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD 2011-2012 CHILD CARE REPORT

Introduction

The York Region District School Board (YRDSB) is committed to building strong partnerships between child care, before and after school care programs and school board programs in order to support planning, curriculum and program coordination that will benefit students, families and communities. Successful relationships in support of improved student learning exist when parents, students, staff and community partners work together to build trust and commitment, respect and strengthen partnerships.

The York Region District School Board Improvement Work Plan for Student Achievement and Well-Being (BIP) indicators and strategies include and promote the communication and collaboration with community partners to support the Board’s system priority and ensure that all students acquire the literacy skills that will enable them to be successful in the future.

With the implementation of the Full Day Kindergarten (FDK) Program for four and five year olds now entering its third year of implementation as of September 2012, it continues to be a major part of the BIP to engage parents, families and early years partners to collaborate and plan ahead in support of our youngest learners. The Board is committed to collaborating with these community partners in order to integrate support for families in the best interests of improved student achievement and well being for all students.

The Coordinator of Child Care will continue to work with community partners to meet the requirements under the proposed changes to the legislation. Collaboration will continue by updating child care operators on a regular basis with information as it becomes available. Ongoing efforts to deliver before and after care services consistent with the Ministry’s Extended Day Program continue.

The following outlines the areas of responsibility for the Coordinator of Child Care Community Services.

1. Surveying new and existing schools that do not have before and after care programs to determine needs. 2. Establishing new Child Care Programs and Before and After Care program for 4-12 year olds. 3. Community Projects – represent the Board in Early Years initiatives that enhance early learning and literacy and family support. 4. Support for Board child care operators in the area of program quality and effective partnerships with Board staff. 5. Manage issues as they arise and support families in accessing programs and finding care. 6. Support the establishment of Preps-P (Preschool Readiness Enrichment Program with Seneca and Parents) programs in partnership with Seneca College. 7. Support the establishment of Early Child Development and Parenting Programs in schools. 8. Approve applications and issue permits for Special Interest Service Providers who provide lunch time and after school activities in our schools. 9. As a member of the Early Years Team, support the implementation of Full Day Kindergarten. 10. Support for Superintendents and Principals in managing contentious child care issues.

1. Current status of child care facilities within the York Region District School Board as of September 2011.

As of September 2011 the number of full day child care centres has decreased from 59 locations to 56 locations with the closure of 3 programs. In June 2011, the child care programs located at Middlefield Secondary School, Randall Public School and JLR Bell Public School closed their doors. These programs were experiencing a steady decline in enrollment over the last few years and this, combined with the lack of subsidies for families to make care affordable, led the agencies to feel the program was no longer financially viable.

As per Board procedure, the sites were tendered out to other Board approved child care operators; however, no agencies came forward to take over the centres. Therefore the programs closed and the child care centre spaces were reclaimed by the Board. After consultation with parents and the involvement of the Region of York, Children Services Division, support was offered to families in finding alternative care. The Before and After Care Programs at Randall Public School and JLR Bell Public School continues to operate.

In addition to the closure of the full day child care centres noted above, the Board received notice from the child care agency operating full day child care centres at Yorkhill and Charlton Public Schools that they will be closing the end of August 2012. With the implementation of Full Day Kindergarten beginning in September 2012 at these two school locations, the agency feels the programs will no longer be viable as they are currently only providing care to children who are entering either JK or SK in September of 2012 and neither of the programs has a wait list for younger children. The agency will remain in the school as the child care provider so care will be available to all families in the before and after care program. If families call looking for care for younger children (2.5 – 3.8 years) they are being referred to centres in the community.

In September 2011 the number of Before and After Care Programs increased from 147 to 153 (50 attached to child care centres and 101 stand alone programs). This brings the total to 158 child care programs located within schools in the York Region District School Board. Five child care centres are located within secondary schools and out of 166 elementary schools there are 153 schools with child care. These programs typically operate between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. to provide quality care in a secure environment for children when their families are at work or at school.

As of September 2011 there are currently 2557 licensed child care spaces with the York Region District School Board for children ages six months to five years. As of March 31, 2012 approximately 2205 of those spaces are occupied.

As Before and After Care programs operate in shared space within schools, the numbers of licensed spaces in before and after care programs fluctuate depending on room availability.

Before and After Care Programs that Opened in September 2011:

1. Nellie McClung Public School 2. Pierre Berton Public School 3. Sutton Public School 4. Maple Leaf Public School 5. Park Avenue Public School 6. Stuart Scott Public School

New Before and After Care Programs for 2012

In keeping with the Ministry’s expectation that Boards determine the need for a before and after care program in a school offering Full Day Kindergarten, the survey process was initiated for

new schools opening in September 2012 and existing schools which currently do not have a Before and After Care program and will offer Full Day Kindergarten in September 2012.

Through the process of parent selection committees, YRDSB pre-approved licensed child care operators will be chosen to provide the before and after school programs in the following schools:

New Before and After Care programs in existing elementary schools:

1. Cedarwood Public School 2. Ellen Fairclough Public School 3. Meadowbrook Public School

New Schools opening in September 2012 that will have a Before and After Care Program:

1. Beynon Fields Public School 2. Black Walnut Public School 3. Rick Hansen Public School 4. Sir John A. Macdonald Public School 5. Wendat Village Public School

2. Community Projects

Through the Child Care Coordinator’s membership on Early Years Committees the York Region District School Board is able to collaborate with the community and Early Years partners to enhance early learning and literacy, readiness to learn and family support initiatives.

The Coordinator of Child Care and Community Services actively participates on the following committees:

a) Early Learning and Care Steering Committee The Best Start initiative started in 2006 with the goal to develop early learning and care hubs which included kindergarten, child care and parenting programs. With the implementation of Full Day Kindergarten coming to many of the schools identified as hub sites in September 2012, the organization of these programs will look different. Child care operators will now provide the before and after care portion for four and five year olds attending the Full Day Kindergarten program during the day. A goal now for the Early Learning and Care Steering committee is to work on developing some best practices that support Kindergarten, Parenting and Child Care in FDK schools. The strategies would promote seamlessness between the core program of Full Day Kindergarten and the extended day portion operated by child care operators. They would also look at supports to parents that can be coordinated through the parenting programs to parents whose children will be entering Junior Kindergarten. The Coordinator of Child Care continues to support this initiative as the Chair of the Early Learning and Care Steering Committee. The hub sites will continue with the goal to move forward with collaborative partnerships that support system integration and a coordinated approach to providing early learning and care services in an integrated, community based environment to children ages 0-6 years. See appendix F for background information and locations.

b) Child and Family Collaborative (C&FC) of York Region: The Coordinator of Child Care and Community Services continues to participate on the Child and Family Collaborative and on many of its subcommittees. The Collaborative is a volunteer planning group consisting of members from child care agencies, early years sectors and educational institutions. The subcommittees are the working groups for this committee.

The C&FC is committed to principles of prevention and education and creates opportunities for professional development, life-long learning, research and early intervention for the early years sector. The goal of the C&FC is to improve early development and child care services for children aged prenatal to twelve and their families in York Region.

c) Enhanced Funding Through advocacy, planning and the support of the Region of York, additional fiscal dollars have been secured in order to pay for additional staff to support children or groups of children experiencing barriers to learning in child care settings. This increase in child / staff ratio in licensed child care programs allows for more resources, attention and planning for children with specific high needs in the program.

d) Quality and Accessibility Subcommittee Supporting the child care community in measures of quality, this group has prepared indicators of quality for child care programs and continues to monitor quality in curriculum programming through documents and professional development opportunities. The committee provided a number of training opportunities for Early Childhood Education staff in licensed child care centres and Early Child Development and Parenting Programs. In the next year, this committee will continue to work on bringing a quality assurance tool called Raising the Bar to the Region of York. Raising the Bar is a program designed to help families ensure their children are receiving high-quality early learning in child care programs. Developed in Hamilton, this is a well-researched, Canadian initiative that builds on strengths and supports the quality child care programs within our community. In March of 2012, the first eight child care centres in York Region achieved the Bronze Status for Raising the Bar. Of those eight centres, four are located in the following York Region District School Board Schools: Harry Bowes Public School, Bogart Public School, W.J. Watson Public School and Sixteenth Avenue Public School.

The goal is to continue to recruit programs to work towards achieving the first level of Raising The Bar standard. The committee’s long term goal still stands to have all of the 532 child care sites in York Region participating.

3. Support for Board child care operators in the area of program quality and effective partnerships with Board staff

The Coordinator of Child Care supports Board child care operators through on site visits to child care programs and quarterly meetings with Operators/Managers of the Child Care agencies that are providing child care in YRDSB schools. These meetings provide a forum for discussions on Board initiatives and policies that have impact on their operations within schools. It allows for opportunities to gather input from child care partners and work in a collaborative approach in addressing issues, identifying professional learning opportunities and improving quality of programs and relationships.

4. Manage issues as they arise and support families in accessing programs and finding care

The Coordinator of Child Care offers support to families in finding child care and parenting programs within their community and link parents with community agencies for additional services, if necessary. The Coordinator also acts as a liaison between childcare operators and parents to address issues when they arise within their existing care arrangements to offer support in resolving issues regarding quality and to provide additional resources if need be.

The Coordinator of Child Care provides ongoing support to School Administrators and Child Care operators to develop and improve partnerships between staff of both the child care and school. The Child Care Coordinator facilitates meetings to discuss issues and concerns, ensuring that differences of agreement are dealt with immediately, and action plans are developed in a positive problem solving approach to address challenges, issues and concerns.

5. PREPS-P (Preschool Readiness Enrichment Program with Seneca and Parents)

The YRDSB continues its partnership with Seneca College King - Early Childhood Education Department, to promote early learning for children and support and education for parents in a developmentally appropriate environment. The program, established in 1997, is staffed by second-year Early Childhood Education students. Community agencies such as Early Intervention Services provide workshops for the parents and caregivers.

This enrichment program for children under four years old and their parents/ caregivers is hosted at four school locations:

1. Glen Shields Public School 2. Wilshire Public School 3. Discovery Public School 4. Pine Grove Public School

6. Early Child Development and Parenting Programs

Early Child Development and Parenting programs have been established in numerous sites across York Region. Many of the sites are in our schools; the remainder is in Community Centres, Libraries and other community areas. Where space allows, we are able to offer more programs in our schools. The programs offered are for children 0 – 6 years of age and their parent or caregiver. The purpose of these programs is to support parents in their parenting skills and to support the emotional, physical and intellectual development of their children in a structured learning environment through a range of early learning activities. These programs are free of charge. The Coordinator of Child Care and Community Services works closely with the Manager of Community Programs in YRDSB to address the scope of this initiative. See Appendix E for locations.

7. Service Providers

A list of current pre-approved lunch/after school service providers has been created for distribution to all schools. These programs offered to our children range from music, arts and crafts, recreational sports, dance and Red Cross Certification (plus many more). The service providers are pre-screened for program content, liability insurance and police clearance documentation. These programs are provided at a cost for the families and may run weekly for up to eight weeks.

8. Member of the Early Years Team, support the implementation of Full Day Kindergarten

As a member of the Early Years Team, the Child Care Coordinator provides support to the current 37 year one and year two schools offering Full Day Kindergarten and the 43 new schools that will be offering Full Day Kindergarten in September 2012 in the following ways.

. Assist with interviewing Registered Early Childhood Educators for the position of Designated Early Childhood Educators in Full Day Kindergarten Programs.

. Act as a Liaison person to seven Full Day Kindergarten schools to connect and offer support to Teachers, Early Childhood Educators and Administrators to identify successes,

issues and next steps.

. Support the delivery of professional learning opportunities to School teams including Administrators, Kindergarten Teachers, Early Childhood Educators, Educational Assistants and caretaking staff.

. Ensure that the Ministry of Education requirements and timelines are met with regard to Full Day Kindergarten and the extended day component for schools that have before and after care programs for children ages four to 12 years.

Goals For 2012

The Child Care Coordinator will work together with the Early Years Team, Administrators, Before and After care program staff and Kindergarten teams to development best practices for shared space and creating a seamless transition for kindergarten children and their families.

1. To provide support for the establishment and implementation of Full Day Kindergarten for four and five year olds in schools approved by the Ministry for 2012/13.

2. To work with existing third-party child care operators to provide a before and after care program for kindergarten children attending Full Day Kindergarten with content consistent with the Ministry of Education’s expectations. It is expected that the following conditions would apply to third party child care operators operating before- and/or after-school programs for JK/K pupils:

. meet requirements under relevant legislation (e.g., the Day Nurseries Act); . be located on site; . deliver program content consistent with the Ministry’s Extended Day Program; . operate programs on instructional days; and . investigate parental interest for programs on non-instructional days.

3. Continue to work with community partners and School Administrators to address the challenges of providing Before and After Care Programs in shared space for 4-12 year olds. The goals include:

a) improving program consistency; b) ensuring effective use of space and storage; and c) providing support for classroom teachers and Before and After Care Early Childhood Educators in developing respectful guidelines and strategies.

4. Create an operational manual/document that outlines guidelines and resources for child care in schools and the extended day component for four and five year olds.

5. Develop a seamless approach to extended Day Before and After Care Programs in Schools with Full Day Kindergarten.

As outlined in the Extended Day document; the extended-day program offers an approach to pedagogy and planning that is consistent with the approach taken in the FDK program, and makes use of shared resources and shared common spaces to create a seamless system of care and education for children and families. The extended day program is intended to be connected to the learning that happens in the kindergarten classroom during the regular school day. Therefore Educational spaces that are defined by purpose rather than program support the bringing together of best practices that result in quality programs for young children.

When early childhood professionals (teachers, DECE, Before and After program staff) work collaboratively, the results are;

a) elimination of physical transitions for children attending childcare and kindergarten programs, b) establishment of formal links between programs, c) knowledge and information sharing can take place, and d) a continuum of goals, expectations and strategies can be developed to further support our youngest learners and their families.
