MCSD Whiteboard: Time to register for preschool
MCSD Whiteboard
There’s nothing better than starting well.
That’s what preschool is for. Our youngest learners have specific needs, and that opportunity is one Moffat County preschool teachers take seriously.
Preschool in Moffat County School District happens at the Early Childhood Center and is an incredibly valuable way to help prepare our youngest learners for kindergarten and beyond. It’s fun, educational, and it helps 3- and 4-year-olds prepare to thrive at the next level while helping them make lifelong friends today. Now is the time to register.
The thing to do if you’ve got a child ready for preschool is to come down to 600 Texas Ave. and ask questions, or call director Stephanie Davis at 970-826-6280. She can help walk you through your options and the enrollment process.
Students who will be four years old next year register through the Universal Preschool Colorado website, upk.colorado.gov. Younger students register through the school website, moffatsd.org. Stephanie or Terri at the front desk of the preschool can help you figure this out and get your child ready for class.
The value of preschool is hard to overstate. Whether it’s studies that show how much better early elementary students who attended preschool do or just anecdotal observation by our great Moffat County teachers, it’s clear that it’s great for kids to come to ECC.
It’s much more than affordable daytime childcare. Early Childhood Center employs highly skilled, qualified and passionate teachers who educate children according to age-appropriate standards and curriculum.
Students have indoor and outdoor play, both in their classrooms and on playgrounds and in the gym area. ECC is a place ringing with children’s joy and learning, and it’s certainly the best place for your three- or four-year old.
Now’s the time to register for preschool. Don’t wait, and don’t assume you can’t afford it. Most students can receive at least half-day school at no cost, and many are eligible for more.
Come down to the office or call, and get your kid ready for preschool and for life today.
