Prairie South Prekindergarten and Early Learning programs are for children between 3 and 5 years old. Recent studies show that when we focus on children in their early years, through a quality play-based program, students can experience more positive outcomes in school and in life. The research indicates that there is an increase in the number of children coming to Kindergarten unprepared to take advantage of the learning opportunities available to them.

To allow Prairie South to add capacity to our existing Prekindergarten programs, and to start two more programs, our Board committed an additional $800,000 for the 2011-12 school year. We are also exploring more Early Learning possibilities in our rural schools.

We believe the more we can accomplish during our students early years, the more our communities will benefit in the future.
