Preschool

Thank you Governor for supporting Preschool. Many of us have dedicated our lives to Early Childhood Education and specifically preschool, Kindergarten and inclusion. The numbers of children included in quality preschool programs is worth the time and effort. We cannot forget the work that still must be done! Beyond the former Abbotts, there are many districts attempting to build on their existing preschool programs; improve the quality of their SpEd preschool programs; implement inclusion and also offer quality preschool to all children through mixed programs with tuition paying families. They still need support. And then, we are also committed to supporting Kindergarten teachers and the transition from Preschool to Kindergarten and beyond- Preschool-Third Grade. It is necessary and exciting to collaborate with the Governor's Office; the Commissioner and the Director of Preschool-DOE-DECE; the Advocates (ACNJ); the administrators(NJPSA); and other dedicated educators and private groups to do what is best for children. We have an additional wealth of EC expertise in NJ also with the Universities and the National Institute for Early Education Research. Thank you again for understanding our work.
