K3 and K4 expand with $85,000 from Greenville County First Steps

First Steps CheckGreenville County First Steps presented St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School with a pledge of $85,000 to expand K3 and K4 programs for the 2010-2011 school year.

The classes will operate on a Perry Preschool Model, which combines the classroom setting with the child’s home setting. This is part of a three-year study between the High/Scope Educational Foundation and Clemson University that focuses on curriculum and home visiting.

Classes will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 pm, Monday through Friday, with after class care available on site until 6:00 p.m. for a fee.

The classes will have small numbers of students for more individualized attention. The teachers are High/Scope Curriculum trained. Classroom teachers will do a weekly home visit with the child and parent or guardian. The home visit will include a variety of learning activities.
