Early childhood education helps your child grow
Did you know 90 % of a child’ s brain develops before they are 5 years old? Pre-K and kindergarten take place during this critical period, making it an ideal time for building core skills.
Students who attend Pre-K are: Less likely to be held back a grade More likely to graduate from high school Better performers in literacy, language, math, and self-regulation Able to grow fundamental skills they may not have had before entering kindergarten Practiced in social skills such as sharing, working together, and following routines
Kindergarten also shows similar advantages, as students: Show stronger skills in memory, self-control, and reasoning Have better reading, math, and social skills Are more likely to do well in high school
Enrolling your child in Pre-K and kindergarten forms the foundation they need to succeed in school and beyond.
