I can’t afford preschool for my almost 2 year old son unless I stay on the welfare to work program which is a huge hassle to stay in as there is so much paperwork involved. The closest head start to my house doesn’t start until the child is 2 years 9 months. So my dilemna is what to do with my son until then. How crucial is preschool before they turn 3?

Question by : In what ways can a teacher legally discipline a child?
I had heard that in Ontario, under the Education Act, a teacher can discipline a child in the same way that a parent can. I don’t know if that’s true but that’s why I am asking the question…
