ABC PreK GOALS:

Provide high quality preschool services on behalf of the public school system.

The preschool program provides services to children who are 3 and 4 by August 1 of each year. Preschool services include preparing children for kindergarten, including pre-reading with letter and sound recognition and pre-mathematics with number recognition and counting activities. Science activities are related to the natural world through observation and experimentation. Engineering is Elementary (EiE) preschool units designed by the Boston Museum of Science are used for engineering exploration throughout the year. Free supportive services include speech therapy and specialized instructional services, as well as, occupational and physical therapy.

Provide access to stable, high quality child care and early learning experiences to improve the odds of success for two generations – parents and children - who rely on child care across the country.

The Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) provides resources to State, Territory, and Tribal grantees that enable low-income parents to work or pursue education and training so that they may better support their families while at the same time promoting the learning and development of their children. CCDF provides funding to enhance the quality of child care for all children.
