ÐÓ°É

Scholars perform better in school and complete more years of education when they engage in high-quality early learning. Providing comprehensive access to high-quality pre-kindergarten opportunities exposes young scholars to positive learning experiences that will prepare them to develop the skills needed for success in school and life. Through the strategic initiatives outlined below, we will ensure that every 4-year-old in ÐÓ°É has access to high-quality, full-day early learning opportunities, supporting our vision of every child entering kindergarten ready to experience school success.

Commitment in Action

We commit to the following key initiatives:

• Developing a robust early literacy campaign
• Expanding the number of pre-kindergarten (4-year-old) seats
• Developing a plan for collaboration, partnership, and alignment with existing Head Start, daycare, and early childcare centers in ÐÓ°É
• Developing a Parent Academy that supports a strong start for young scholars
• Implementing a high-quality and developmentally appropriate pre-kindergarten curriculum

Implementation Plan

Some of the initiatives will take more planning and time to implement than others. The table below outlines the estimated action plan for implementation of Commitment #1.
