Students who attend Georgia’s Pre-K program enter Kindergarten more prepared than their peers who did not attend any Pre-K program.
This strong start sets the foundation for future success in school and beyond. 🌟
Join us as we celebrate Georgia Pre-K Week and the positive impact this program has on our youngest learners! #GAPreKWeek #4theT
She visited Matt Wilson Elementary and Len Lastinger Elementary, where she read to our Pre-K students and shared in the joy of early learning. Joining her for the visits were Pre-K Program Specialists BJ Sutton and Latricia Hall from the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning.
A key strength of Georgia’s Pre-K program is helping children build strong foundational literacy skills. Families can support this at home too — simply by reading together every day!
We are grateful for leaders like Rep. Ford who value the importance of early learning and the bright futures of our youngest Blue Devils. #4theT #GaPreKWeek
