Some kindergartens in Toronto still do a half day, and some do two full days and one half day a week. You'd have to contact your local school board to find out.

Kindergarten classes here in the states usually last 3-4 hours. The classes are divided into 2 groups AM and PM.
The AM students come into class with the regular students but the parents must pick them up before lunch. 8-11:00
The same applies to the PM class. The parent brings the child in (after lunch) and then the child is dismissed with the regularly attending students. 12:00 - 3:00
Your brother is three and starting Kindergarten?!?
3 seems too young for kindergarten. Are you sure it isn't preschool he will be attending? Preschools can be all day classes and some kindergartens are all day also.

I am not sure about Canada. I know here in the U.S. most children do not start kindergarten until they are 5 years old and can go to preschool or also referred to as headstart when they are 3 and 4 years old. Not sure if you are meaning preschool or actual kindergarten. Preschool hours for my daughter was 5 hours a day. She started at 9 am and got out at 2 pm. When she was in kindergarten she went the same hours as the rest of the children, a full day. from 7:30 am until 2:30 pm. (7 hours). It varies by school.

Yea, ask the school. Different schools in the same district can have different schedules. By the way, my three year old is in preschool all day- for four days a week.
