Are Your Young Students "Kindergarten Ready"? Creating High-Quality Pre-K for All Children
Early Childhood Education and Kindergarten Readiness is gaining much attention around the nation. Having high-quality Pre-K programs is essential in preparing students for Kindergarten. In this session, we will explore our journey from serving approximately 100 Pre-K students in 1994 to now serving over 1,200 Pre-K students in nationally accredited Pre-K programs. We will also discuss our professional learning structure and support for all Pre-K staff, students, and families. Through coaching and collaboration, we have established an environment where we see great student growth and a culture of learning for all. With these key components in place, our Pre-K students enter the first day of Kindergarten ready to learn and succeed.
