Central's Pre-K Program

A Program Overview

The Pre-K Program

This At-Risk program is funded by the State of Illinois. It is a half-day program that is designed to serve children who may be at-risk or for different types of academic failure.

The children and their families may qualify for numerous "need" reasons. Families who qualify will be served. Furthermore, children who have the greatest needs are served first. Some of the main characteristics that help children qualify are low income, premature birth, teen parent, parent not a graduate, single parents, health and/ or social concerns, parent incarceration, homeless, and other considerable delays that may affect a child's academic performance.

The Pre-K program is designed to engage the children in a developmentally appropriate curriculum. The standards are aligned to the Illinois State Standards. The teachers provide daily activities in language, literacy, math, science, social sciences, music, art, fine and gross motor. The children are assessed on various individual abilities.

Students and the families who are enrolled are required to participate in various activities that promote a family and school relationship. The program encourages parents to be their child's first and life-long teacher.

Screenings for the Pre-K  program will be held  approximately three times per year.  The usual screening months will be January, April and August.  Please call 632-6336 extension 100  to set up an appointment.
