DISCOVERY POINT CONYERS
RECEIVES GRANT TO HELP IN
EARLY LEARNING DEVELOPMENT
6
B
right from the Start: Georgia
Department of Early Care and
Learning (DECAL) and the
Governor’s Office of Student
Achievement (GOSA) awarded
Discovery Point Conyers an Early
Language and Literacy Classroom
Grant. The grant, totaling $80,000,
is for four classrooms dedicated to
infant and toddler care. The state
will also provide infant and toddler
specialist for teacher training.
According to DECAL Commissioner
Amy Jacobs, the state-funded grant
will help implement strong language
and literacy instruction for children
in the earliest, and most critical, years
of life. More specifically, the grant will
14
help meet a goal in Georgia set in 2011
by Governor Nathan Deal. That goal
is for children to read at their grade
level by the third grade. A quality early
learning program that exposes young
children to social interactions, language
and literacy is critical.
