To prepare children for kindergarten, CDCFC will support children and families.

• Classroom environments that help children build communication and language skills while encouraging thinking, problem-solving, creativity, learning, and discovery.  Children also take part in different activities that help them learn about cultures and new experiences.
• We use The Creative Curriculum™, a research-based curriculum that supports the growth and learning needs of all children, including children with disabilities and children learning more than one language.
• We use information from parents, screenings, assessments, and classroom observations to better understand and support each child’s learning and development while encouraging family involvement through volunteering, training opportunities, home learning activities, and parent input to help meet each child’s individual needs.
• Staff, community partners, and parents work together as a team to create and track school readiness goals for children.
• We work with local schools to help children and families smoothly transition from Head Start to Kindergarten.
