In 2001, the City of Toronto, the Toronto District School Board and community agencies supported by the Atkinson Foundation partnered to pioneer the Toronto First Duty (TFD) Project. The TFD was designed to bring together into a seamless service three streams of early childhood services; kindergarten, child care and family supports. Several research and progress reports from the project have been produced, some are linked below and others can be found on the Toronto First Duty website.

This article profiles a parent who has a fantastic kindergarten program for her four-year-old twins. The program runs from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the local community school where certified teachers and early childhood educators work side by side to offer a child-centred program that covers her entire working day. The program is part of the Toronto First Duty project. This three-year project is designed to demonstrate how existing early childhood and family programs can be transformed into a system for children 0-6 years and to explore possible options for integration of kindergarten and other ECEC services.
