In Ontario, kindergarten children have recently begun to eat lunch at school with the implementation of the full-day kindergarten program. To date, there are no regulations to address the particular needs of young children in the school eating environment. Drawing on a year-long three-phase study that followed a cohort of 21 children as they transitioned from full-day childcare to full-day kindergarten, this study explores the impact of staff training and staff relationships on the well-being of kindergarten students. Findings suggest that the presence of an early childhood educator (ECE), a minimum staffing of two adults per room, and a collaborative approach between teacher and ECE have a positive impact on child well-being.

在安大略省，随着全日制幼儿园计划的实施，幼儿园的孩子们最近开始在学校吃午餐。迄今为止，尚无针对幼儿在学校用餐环境中的特殊需求的法规。本研究以为期一年的三阶段研究为基础，对 21 名儿童从全日制托儿所过渡到全日制幼儿园进行跟踪，探讨员工培训和员工关系对幼儿园学生福祉的影响. 调查结果表明，早期儿童教育者 (ECE) 的存在、每间房至少配备两名成人以及教师和 ECE 之间的协作方法对儿童的幸福感产生了积极影响。
