Since September 2000, the French Catholic School Board of Central and Eastern Ontario (CECLFCE) (Ontario, Canada), has decided to offer a full-day educational program instead of his half-day educational program to all 4-year-old children of its territory. Given the educational, financial and political stakes inherent in the establishment of the full-day preschool program, the CECLFCE has opted to conduct an evaluation of this project in order to determine its effects on children’s development. This article summarizes a longitudinal study conducted in three stages, at the end of kindergarten, grade 2 and grade 5. In each stage, we compared the development of children who attended the full-day preschool program (2000–2001) to other who attended the half-day program (1999–2000). This study addresses the following question: is a full-day preschool program more likely to enhance, in the longer term, linguistic, academic, social-emotional, and psychomotor development than a half-day preschool program? Our results indicate that the full-day preschool program for 4-year-old children is more likely to enhance, in the longer term, linguistic and academic development in reading and mathematics. However, the program has little effect on writing competence, as well as in regard to social-emotional and psychomotor development.
