What is the difference between the half-day program and the all-day program? Are both options available?
The core curriculum is the same for both the half-day program and the All Day Kindergarten Program. The All Day Kindergarten Program provides time for teachers to devote more attention to the diverse individual needs of children and to extend and reinforce learning for each child. There are greater opportunities to integrate language arts, math, social studies, science and the arts through project work and small group learning throughout the day. Both the half-day program and the All Day Kindergarten Program are offered. A choice between All Day Kindergarten and half-day kindergarten is available to parents in the Worthington School District; however, based on enrollment, a half-day kindergarten program may not be offered at each building.
