Two Lethbridge elementary schools introduce KinderCare program
Lethbridge School Division is piloting a KinderCare program at Senator Buchanan and Nicholas Sheran Elementary Schools, offering students the opportunity to participate in a full-day program instead of the traditional half-day. Christine Light, Division’s Board Chair, explains the initiative is being carried out as part of the 2024/2025 Operating Budget. Light says the program has been successful so far and it will continue into the 2025-2026 school year. She adds at the end of this period a revaluation will be made to determine whether the program will continue.
The official says eligible students can access transportation and, in many cases, can ride the bus with their older siblings.
