Greenville 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.
What an Amazing relationship is present in this Community. We thank Almighty God for His Guidance, and prompting us in this direction. God Bless ALL.
This is fantastic!
