In February 2008, the Throne Speech called for the creation of an Early Childhood Learning Agency to “assess the feasibility and costs of full school day kindergarten for five-year-olds” and conduct a “feasibility study of providing parents with the choice of day-long kindergarten for four-year-olds by 2010, and for three-year-olds by 2012.” The Early Childhood Learning Agency was given the responsibility of reporting by the end of 2008.  To help us gather your views, a consultation paper will be available in early June 2008 on the Early Childhood Learning Agency website (www.bced.gov.bc.ca/ecla ), with opportunities to respond online or by written submission. This stage of the consultation will be open for a month.
