Preschool Resources
Research offers evidence that a high-quality, research-based preschool program, especially for low income children, lays the foundation for later school success. Children who attend high quality preschool exhibit stronger language, math, thinking, and social skills. They are better prepared to cooperate in kindergarten and elementary school and their relationships with peers are more positive. Participating children are less likely to need special education services or the service intensity is less. They are also more likely to remain in school. As children continue to develop, they are less likely to be in trouble with the law and, consequently, avoid incarceration.
Boost4Families provides preschool tuition assistance to research-based preschool programs in our three county area. Application information and current Federal Poverty Guidelines are available below:
