Parents Learn About The Denver Preschool Program
DENVER (CBS4)- The Denver Preschool Program helps give parents information about selecting a preschool. The 4th Annual Preschool Showcase is Saturday, Jan. 9 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
The showcase helps parents navigate through the preschool selection process and also helps provide information on tuition support.
Jennifer Landrum President and CEO Denver Preschool Program appeared on CBS4 Morning News on Saturday with CBS4's Mark Taylor. She talked about what resources are available for parents at the Preschool Showcase.
"We make preschool possible for every 4-year-old in Denver," said Landrum.
"Kids who attend preschool really get a strong start for Kindergarten and when kids are ready for Kindergarten, they're going to do better throughout their school career. The sad thing is when kids start behind they tend to stay behind. Preschool helps them get ready both socially and emotionally as well as teaches them pre-literacy and pre-math skills."
Parents are encouraged to bring their children to the Preschool Showcase because there will be activities for children.
"Parents are going to be able to talk to early childhood experts from a variety of programs, center-based programs, to Denver Public Schools, and we'll have the Denver Public Library there doing story time, Museum of Nature and Science, the Denver Zoo," said Landrum.
The 4th Annual Preschool Showcase is Saturday, Jan. 9 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at two locations:
The Studios at Overland Crossing
2205 S Delaware St - Denver
Green Valley Recreation Center
4890 Argonne Way - Denver
