Background
There is a growing recognition in California and across the nation of the importance of high-quality preschool in preparing children for success in school and in closing the achievement gap. The achievement gap seen in elementary school that increases in kindergarten and beyond traces back to the young children who come to school unprepared for the expectations of our educational system. More consideration is being given to preparing children for s... Early childhood education is the first subject Gov. M. Jodi Rell addresses in the section of her budget narrative on
education, but her specific proposals have gotten mixed reviews from legislators.
Her plan includes $5.5 million to expand state-funded preschool programs beyond the poorest cities and towns, so that more
families who have not been able to send their children to preschool can do so.
This and other new funding would lead to the creation of up to 1,000 more spaces in preschool for c... The Ontario government has put in place a range of new and expanded supports for children with autism and their families. These services are designed to help a child with autism develop essential skills in the preschool years, then progress to school where those skills can be applied and reinforced in a structured, social setting.
The government announced in March 2004 a new plan to support children with autism and their families, doubling spending on autism services to approximately $80 million. By expanding preschool services and creating meaningful new supports in school, the government is providing more universal support for children with autism, not only for thos... Do you think your child may have a problem with speech and language?
Don't "wait and see." If your child needs help it's never too early to get started. Call your local Preschool Speech and Language Program right away to find out if your kid needs an assessment.
The goal of the Ontario Government's Preschool Speech and Language Initiative is to identify children who need help with learning language and to provide services across the province to help them. Kids may rec... In April 2000, the Department of Education developed and published the Early Childhood Program Expectations: Standards of Quality [(now called Preschool Teaching and Learning Expectations: Standards of Quality)] as guidance to the adults working with young children. In July, 2004, the State Board of Education adopted these revised Preschool Teaching and Learning Expectations: Standards of Quality. For districts receiving State aid to provide preschool programs, the Standards are requirements for good practice as regulated by N.J.A.C. 6a:8 and N.J.A.C. 6a:10A. For districts not receiving State aid for preschool provision but have or are affiliated with preschool p... Executive Summary
Research tells us a great deal about the skills and knowledge children need to be successful in school. Among preschoolers, vocabulary, letter knowledge, and phonological awareness, in addition to social and emotional factors, have a significant impact on later success in school. For example, reading scores in the 10th grade can be predicted with surprising accuracy based on a child's knowledge of the alphabet in kindergarten. We must ensure that children are equipped with the basic skills necessary so that they begin school read... Issues of Implementation
This document is developed for use in any program serving preschool children. The preschool environment, materials, and teaching strategies should be adapted as appropriate to meet the needs of all children. The needs of young learners are as diverse as the homes and communities from which they come. There will be learners from many cultural, racial, and ethnic background... Survey finds long waiting lists for preschool Law enforcement joins push for publicly funded programs in California
California law enforcement threw its political heft behind a growing coalition for publicly provided preschool Tuesday, saying too many at-risk children are languishing on waiting lists, depriving them of services that could keep them from crime later in life.
A statewide survey of publicly funded preschool programs found anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 children waiting for sl... |
