Toronto’s Private Schools Offer Much More than All-Day Care

Ontario’s new all-day kindergarten programs to roll out this fall are making Toronto’s public schools appealing choices for busy, working families. But the benefits that private schools offer GTA parents and children still extend far beyond before- and after-care.

With Dalton McGuinty’s full-day kindergarten programs coming to Ontario elementary schools this fall, journalists and administrators are concerned that private school enrollment will decrease. But Our Kids Media, Canada’s experts on private schools across the country, know that the private and independent schools of Ontario can offer much more to a family than just all-day care.

“Private schools have been creating responsible, successful graduates for decades,” said David Field, Editor of Our Kids Go to School Magazine, “Parents aren’t choosing private education just for the convenience of all-day classes.”

The benefits of private school are extensive and long-lasting. Smaller class sizes and lower staff-to-student ratios ensure that each child receives the attention they need to succeed. Private schools throughout Ontario are known for their safe and welcoming environments, allowing children of all ages to reach their full potential and make lasting friendships. Extensive extracurricular activities and specialized academic programs let students find their passions and explore them in an instructive environment. And parent-teacher relationships are open and strong, so families can make sure their children are receiving the education they desire.
