In addition to Lansdowne, the early learning program has been introduced at Churchill, Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth, Wembley and A.B. Ellis schools. The early learning program will have up to 26 four and five-year-olds with an early childhood educator and a teacher in each class.

For a fee, the program offers a before and after-school component.

The program will be implemented in all schools by 2015-2016.
