PRESCHOOL

Raise the Odds of Success. Lower the Cost of Preschool.

"The Preschool program has been a perfect fit for our family and has allowed us, as parents, to go to work. The teachers are engaging, excited, and welcome the students each day with a warm smile. Preschool has helped create the foundation for our children to become increasingly independent, excited about school, and lifelong learners. We appreciate having all these things in place and know our kids are having a great time with people we trust.- Jessica Huser

ABOUT

The primary objective of preschool is to prepare children to be ready for both academic and social-emotional success. PCSD Preschool offers all day 3 and 4-year-old classes at all elementary schools. Half day classes for 3-year-olds are available at some schools as well.

STUDENT IMPACT

Long term studies are unequivocal. Attending Preschool increases:

  • High School Graduation Rates
  • Years of College Completed 
  • Lifetime Earned Income 

Every dollar we invest in preschool provides a $5-$12 dollar return - because when the education gap is addressed before kindergarten, it limits the need for expensive interventions in early elementary years.

“Preschool sets our kids up for the future. If they become intrigued with school, they’ll have the desire to learn; they'll learn to read, learn to write, learn how to change the world – and make it a better place.” - Lisa Rasch/Preschool teacher

PCEF DONOR IMPACT

The Park City School District Preschool started in 2010, with PCEF donors providing the seed funding. Since then over 2,000 students have gone through the preschool program

PCEF donors provide over $125,000 in funding each year to ensure the Park City School District is able to provide affordable, high-quality preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds - which means that more of Park City’s young learners start their educational journey off in the right direction. Park City Mountain and Vail Resorts EpicPromise are long-time partners, have provided funding for the Preschool Program since 2014. We are grateful to the Westgate Foundation for their support this year as well.

Support of this critical program is only possible with your help: making quality preschool affordable for all families is an investment in all of our futures!  We invite you to donate by clicking on the button below.

 

 

PREESCOLAR

Reducir el Costo de la Educación Preescolar y Aumentar las Probabilidades de Éxito.

"El programa de preescolar fue genial. No sólo mi hija aprendió a leer, mejor aún, se enamoró de ir a la escuela" - Beth Cummings, madre de tres estudiantes del Distrito Escolar de Park City.

ACERCA DE

El objetivo principal del preescolar es preparar a los niños para que estén listos para el éxito académico y socio-emocional. El preescolar de PCSD ofrece clases de jornada completa para niños de 3 y 4 años en todas las escuelas primarias. Algunas escuelas también ofrecen clases de media jornada para niños de 3 años.

BENEFICIOS

Los estudios a largo plazo  son inequívocos. Aumentar la Asistencia al Preescolar:

  • Índices de Graduación de la Escuela Secundaria
  • Años de Universidad Completados   
  • Ingresos Ganados de Por Vida

Cada dólar que invertimos en preescolar proporciona un retorno de $13 dólares, porque cuando se aborda la brecha de rendimiento antes del kínder, se limita la necesidad de costosas intervenciones en los primeros años de la escuela primaria.

 

"La educación preescolar y de la primera infancia es importante porque expone al niño a todas las piezas y actitudes fundamentales sobre las que construirá su carrera educativa. Exponemos a los niños a nuevas experiencias e ideas y luego las ampliamos; exploramos el lenguaje académico y construimos habilidades académicas; negociamos y practicamos literalmente la amistad, la cooperación, la colaboración y la confianza cada día. Hay tantas maravillas en este mundo preescolar" - Kris Vipond, profesora de preescolar
