PreSchool Development Grant
Funded jointly by the VA Department of Education and the Virginia Early Childhood Foundation via a Federal Preschool Development Grant, the project includes both the City and County school systems, United Way, ReadyKids, MACAA Head Start, and a number of private early education providers. The project is designed to gather data about the local early education landscape as well as implement the CLASS method of measuring teacher/child interactions in public and private settings.
Early Ed Symposium
The Symposium is conducted annually to provide high-quality professional development to public and private early education teachers, administrators and classroom assistants. It also serves as a celebration to recognize the service of early childhood educators.
Mixed Delivery
The Mixed Delivery Project works with public and private partners, maximizing state preschool funding, while also providing funds for high-quality preschool in private settings with after-care so parents may remain employed. Coaching and mentoring provided for teachers increases quality in the classrooms.
