Literacy and literacy education remain at the forefront of parent and teacher concerns. In our increasingly digital world, literacy is an indispensable commodity. Being able to read and write fluently is vital to participation and success in the current state of our world. Between text, email, and the time we all spend online, much of the information we consume is in print, so strong reading skills are a must for success today and in the future.
We believe that high-quality early childhood education is essential for a strong academic foundation that advocates lifelong learning.
Full-day kindergarten programs:
- allow youngsters to develop strong academic, social, and emotional skills
- produce better reading and math skills than half-day programs
- yield students with higher retention and lower dropout rates throughout their academic careers
That’s why we offer FREE all-day kindergarten, plus free before- and after-school care.
