NEW Impact of Full-Day Kindergarten Dashboard
In September 2024, the 91̽»¨app (91̽»¨app) launched Full-Day, Every-Day Kindergarten (FDK) across the division. Now, as we reflect on the first year of this transformative initiative, 91̽»¨app is proud to introduce the Impact of Full-Day Kindergarten Dashboard — a powerful new tool available in the 91̽»¨app Data Hub. This dashboard provides a look at how FDK has influenced student development, family routines, and classroom dynamics.
Here's a little preview into what you can find:
- Families Give It a Gold Star
- 73% of families said their child adjusted quickly; 20% said it took time but now comfortable.
- 70% of teachers said most students adjusted within a couple of months.
- Growth Across the Board
- 98% of families saw academic, emotional, social, or physical growth.
- Many noted more independence, better communication, and improved French fluency.
- More Time, Less Stress for Families
- 68% said FDK made daily routines easier.
- Reduced mid-day pickups and better alignment with work schedules.
- Teachers: Inspired, But Also Tired
- FDK was rewarding but demanding.
- Teachers called for more support, especially Educational Assistants.
The first year of FDK laid a strong foundation. With the launch of the Impact of Full-Day Kindergarten Dashboard, 91̽»¨app is committed to transparency and continuous improvement. This initiative is about more than just extending the school day — it’s about giving every child the time and space to thrive.
