No. 4 Bowmanville, Ont., L1C3K5 February 23,1985 To the Editor, I attended the school board meeting last Wednesday evening, evening, February 20. The issue being addressed was the Implementation of Universal Junior Kindergarten in Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle in September 1985. Fortunately the decision was made to defer the plans for September 1985 because of insufficient funds. I concur wholeheartedly with this decision. My concern is that the school trustees ignored information information that was brought forth concerning the quality of the program that they plan to provide. It was brought to the attention attention of the trustees that a minimum one to 20 ratio for four year olds is not satisfactory. satisfactory. Also the maximum group size of 27 four years olds is too high. Some of the trustees felt that J.K. was necessary for rural children. They did not address the fact that children as young as 3.9 years of age could be on a school bus for up to one hour before and after their two and one-half hour program, as well as the fact that these four year olds will be obliged to share busing with children up to grade 8. The bus drivers will be carrying sleeping children into their homes at the end of their long trip.

I think that before the School Board decides to implement a universal J.K. program it should encourage its ministry to refer to the Day Nurseries Act which has been researched carefully by the Ministry of Community and Social Services to reflect ideal conditions in which four year olds should be cared for. There is room for co-operation co-operation between the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Community and Social Services Services and between the Teachers' Federation and the Association for Early Childhood Childhood Education of Ontario, to strike an ideal learning situation situation for the four year old child.
