Preparing Children for Kindergarten鈥嬧赌嬧��
Our program actively participates in the School Readiness Goals initiative, building community partnerships to align efforts for kindergarten success and beyond. Collaborations with schools and districts allow Head Start children to visit kindergarten classrooms, facilitate staff cooperation, exchange child assessment data, and discuss classroom placement. Our school readiness goals and objectives are listed below.
School Readiness Goal: Children exiting Head Start will have the skills necessary for success in school
- Child Development: Through effective curriculum, individualized instruction, and supportive teacher-child interactions, children will demonstrate developmental progress across all domains (social-emotional, physical and health, cognition and general knowledge, language and literacy development, and approaches to learning).
- Family Engagement: Increased family involvement will empower families to become lifelong learners and advocates for their child's education.
- Program Sustainability: By focusing on community needs and sound financial management, the program will expand services for younger children and their families.

鈥婻esults in Preparing Children
We track developmental progress by integrating teacher observations, child portfolios, and parent insights. These data points inform our triannual ratings using the DRDP (2015) Preschool and Infant-Toddler Editions, allowing us to assess growth at the individual, classroom, and program-wide levels.
Our 2024鈥�25 analysis demonstrates that children in our Head Start and Early Head Start programs are making significant strides. These results confirm that our students are building the foundational skills necessary for success in kindergarten and beyond, highlighting the measurable impact our program has on every child's development.
