Why does my child need to
attend a high quality pre-kindergarten program?
Children who come to
kindergarten without all the skills they need often stay behind
and struggle in school. Quality pre-kindergarten prepares
children for reading and math, but also for paying attention,
following directions and getting along with others.
Pre-kindergarten
gives children a chance to learn, become excited about school
and be better students.
By enrolling your
child in quality pre-kindergarten, your child has a better
chance of being ready for kindergarten and grade school. This
strong early start in pre-kindergarten means they have a better
chance of doing well in school, going on to college or career
training, and getting a good job.
All of this can
start by enrolling your child in CPC Pre-K Counts!
What can I expect from a CPC
Pre-K Counts classroom?
CPC Pre-K Counts
classrooms will:
-
have teachers
with the education and expertise to teach young children
-
use a curriculum
that will help your child grow, academically and socially
-
regularly review
your child's progress and choose teaching and learning
activities that are best for your child
-
help you and your
child adjust to pre-kindergarten and smoothly move on to
kindergarten
-
offer a small
class size (no more than 20 students per one teacher and one
aide) so that your child can have plenty of one-on-one time
with the teachers.
*The portion
of the day that is funded through Pre-K Counts is free to
families; the program may charge for additional portions of the
day (wrap-around child care, etc.)
