When Ojeya Cruz Banks moved to Ohio from New Zealand several years ago, she was overwhelmed by the logistics of uprooting her life. But Cruz Banks, a Denison University professor and a single mother, who is also my neighbor and friend, was relieved to find a house next to a public elementary school. She assumed that she would be able to walk to pick up her daughter—a needed convenience given that she didn’t yet have a car. Unfortunately, when she went to register her daughter for kindergarten, she was met with an unpleasant surprise: The only option available was a…
In kindergarten, students receive comprehensive and challenging instruction in academic core areas including reading, writing, math, science and social studies. They also have college and career exploration opportunities, music classes, physical education courses and opportunities to participate in before- and after-school enrichment programs.While kindergarten is not required in Arizona, many parents choose to prepare their children for the learning environment by enrolling them in a full- or half-day kindergarten program. At Queen Creek Unified School District (QCUSD), we believe kindergarten provides valuable learning experiences and opportunities for young students.
QCUSD offers tuition-free, full-day kindergarten programs at all of our…
Thousands more Alberta students should be eligible for school bussing within the next two years, as the province changes its requirements.
The province has proposed boosting next year’s school transportation funding by 24 per cent from their expected expense this year, while requiring schools to offer busing to students who live closer to their buildings.
Education Minister Adriana LaGrange said school boards, parents, teachers and students have said the current limit of 2.4 kilometers was too far for children to walk — especially when they had to cross expressways or busy roads to get to class.
“Parents were concerned for…
If you observe a kindergarten classroom, its games, songs, stories and activities might seem to be just for fun.
But play-based learning helps children develop skills and knowledge before elementary school and provides an essential foundation for learning in later years.
The framework guiding Ontario’s full-day kindergarten emphasizes play-based learning, which has demonstrated successful learning outcomes in kindergarten and beyond.
What if we could discover key features of early child development that correlate with strong learning pathways through high school? Educators could use that information to ensure all students, especially those who are struggling in school, are getting the supports…

Number of Chinese kindergartens drops in 2022 for first time in 15 years-media | The Mighty 790 KFGO
HONG KONG (Reuters) – The number of kindergartens in China has dropped for the first time in 15 years, falling by more than 5,000 on the previous year, financial news outlet Yicai reported, citing data from the country’s Education Ministry.
Concerns about China’s shrinking population have prompted more than 20 recommendations by members of the country’s top political advisory body to boost birth rates, with experts saying some measures could help slow its population decline.
There were a total of 289,200 kindergartens nationwide in 2022, the Education Ministry said on Thursday. The fall compared to previous years was due to…
MBA admissions revolve around predictions. Decision-makers want to know whether you’re truly a fit and committed to their institution. Do you bring something unique – and can you match up with your classmates?
To answer these hidden questions, schools use behavioral questions in applicant interviews. Scenario-driven, they open with “What would” and “Why did” – or increasingly “Tell me about a time” (TMAT). From there, they often follow up with questions to uncover results and lessons learned. Like any hiring decision, every MBA candidate represents an opportunity and a risk. For adcoms, behavioral questions can gauge a candidate’s creativity and…
