Preschool/School Readiness Programs

2012-13 PRESCHOOL REGISTRATION INFORMATION
COMING SOON!!
 
Preschool registration information will be available on-line in mid-February.  Preschool registration packets will also be mailed at that time to the parents of all eligible children on the district census. The classes and registration process will be very similar to the 2011/12 school year. A random drawing will be held to fill the preschool classes at each school. Families currently in preschool will be drawn in round one, families that live in district but not currently enrolled will be in round two, and out of district families will be in round three. All families will be notified in March of preschool class placements.

 School Readiness is a public school program open to all
Minnesota children ages 3 years to kindergarten enrollment.

The goal of School Readiness is to help preschoolers enter school with the skills
and behaviors necessary to be successful in future learning. Preschool is a place
where young children can meet and interact, feel safe away from their parents,
learn and have fun!
 
Using School Readiness funding, District 16 has offered for many years two quality programs---"Learn & Play Preschool"and "Preschool Partners".
  • Licensed teachers,who have at least a four-year college degree, make learning fun through creative experiences that teach skills in math, science, literacy, social interactions and the arts.
  • All District 16 School Readiness classes use the Houghton-Mifflin Pre-K curriculum. This curriculum is aligned with the district's kindergarten goals.
  • Parent involvement is a part of the School Readiness program. Research has shown that early childhood programs where parents and children work together are more effective than programs that only focus on the child.
  • Two or three days-a-week are offered in the morning or afternoon at both Woodcrest and Northpoint. A four-afternoons-a-week class is offered at Woodcrest.
  • Preschool classes are held at both the Early Childhood wing of Woodcrest Elementary School, 880 Osborne Road NE, Fridley, MN 55432 and at Northpoint Elementary School, 2350 124th Court, Blaine, MN 55449. We offer a sliding fee scale based on income and family size for all School Readiness classes.
  • All School Readiness classes provide inclusion for children with special needs.
  • Children enrolled in 2011-2012 classes must be 3-5 years old, as of September 1, 2011.
