TORONTO — Premier Dalton McGuinty will announce Tuesday that it will take Ontario five years to phase in a much-touted plan to offer all-day kindergarten for all four-and five-year-olds, The Canadian Press has learned.

Some 35,000 kids – about 16 per cent of the eligible junior and senior kindergarten students in the education system – will be offered full-day learning next September, but the program will be fully implemented across the province by 2015, a government source said.

That will put it behind British Columbia, which plans to make full-day kindergarten for all five-year-olds by 2011.
