Early Childhood

The Early Childhood Program is designed to serve children between the ages of 3 and 5. Its curriculum is primarily developmental in nature and is designed to prepare children for the social and academic challenges they will encounter at the kindergarten level.

Parents as Teachers Program:

Schools, communities and families all share the common goal of wanting children to succeed in school. Children who do well in the early grades of elementary school are more likely to graduate from high school and go on to be successful in life.

Research shows that school readiness predicts later school achievement. Therefore we should provide positive experiences for children starting at birth or earlier, that maximize school readiness.

Since education begins at home and parents are their children's first and most influential teachers, supporting and educating parents is a logical strategy. Parents who are involved in their children's early care and education have children who are better prepared for school. The Parents as Teachers program is on key way to ensure that children enter school ready to learn.

To receive more information about this FREE program for children birth to age 5, please call 717-1116 or email kcollins@kennett.k12.mo.us.
