The Mission
The curriculum for the Early Education Children's Room reflects
the belief that children learn through their play. The classrooms are defined by areas which allow children to explore their
interests and develop social, cognitive, emotional, and physical skills at their
own pace.
The King Street Preschool Program is a strong example of
the positive effect of prevention programs. We understand
that healthy intervention in a young child's life will have tremendous rewards
in later years. A child who is
academically and socially ready for kindergarten will experience the first of
many levels of success. This
foundation of success is what develops strong and positive self-esteem in
children. Simply stated, the
definition of self-esteem is, "I am lovable. I am capable." Our early education programs launch children who feel that they are
lovable and capable.
Head Start
Ten of the fifteen families enrolled in the King Street Preschool participate
in the Head Start program. King Street Preschool staff and the Head
Start Early Care Advocate work together in supporting families with their
child's education, establishing family goals, and in utilizing community resources.
Hours and Tuition
The Preschool Program offers part and full day spaces for fifteen
children. Hours of care are 7:30 am
to 5:30 pm. There is a weekly
tuition fee for full-day preschool care. King
Street continues to offer scholarships for part-day preschool enrichment.
