Provo City School District Introduces Full-Day Kindergarten Programs

 Provo City School District is proud to announce the introduction of full-day kindergarten programs in all our schools starting next academic year. 

Full-day enrollment is also an equity maker; working-class parents with less time at home can enroll students in a district service that will productively serve students’ academic and social growth. Students that may run into learning challenges can identify them earlier, providing teachers more time to build skills and differentiated support for each student.

To quote Utah State Board of Education’s (USBE): 

“Utah kids in full-day kindergarten regularly perform 2 to 4 times better than their half-day kindergarten peers in basic kindergarten proficiencies literacy and numeracy… It is a time-tested, evidence-based, early learning practice that can give children from all backgrounds a strong and equitable start in school.” 

It’s not just our Board of Education that reports positive, evidence-based research; according to the National Institute for Early Education Research, children who attend full-day kindergarten programs have better academic and social outcomes than those who participate in half-day programs. It’s a national trend that allows parents and students to offer more opportunities for learning and socializing.

To clarify, full-day kindergarten is the automatic enrollment option; all students still have the option for half-day kindergarten if indicated during the registration process.

Readers can enroll their child in our full-day kindergarten program today and start building their academic and social skills. Contact your school to learn more about our programs and how they can benefit your child’s future.
