Recent brain research indicates that the early years prior to formal schooling are years of continued brain growth and development. This means that the environment and experiences of a child from birth through the age of 7 or 8 stimulate and nurture the continued development of the brain.

• Prekindergarten Screening Days- These events help to identify whether a child who is 3-5 years old qualifies for the Pre-K program and whether he/she may need further evaluation for special education services. The screening days at the Village Mall also include the opportunity for children 0-3 to be screened for possible involvement with one of our infant toddler programs .

• Prevention Initiative/ Maternal, Infant, Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Programs- These programs provide parent education for opportunities for families of children pre-born through 3 years old in their own homes and at group events with other families who are involved in the program. 

• Preschool for All- This program provides half-day, language and literacy rich, classroom experiences for children who are 3-5 years old. These developmentally appropriate experiences are designed to help the child develop to his/her fullest potential and enter kindergarten ready to learn.
