What is Texas School Ready?
The Texas School Ready Program was designed as a result of the No Child Left Behind Act. Their research and the research in the field at large shows clearly that if children do not experience a high quality preschool program that focuses on getting them ready for school, they will often have trouble when they go to kindergarten. The purpose of the certification system was to identify programs that were successful in integrating the quality instructional practices that must be in place in a preschool program to get children ready for kindergarten AND actually tracking the childrens scores who left those programs in the areas of reading and social skills when they went to kindergarten. Texas School Ready! certifies preschool education classrooms including: private preschool centers, child care centers, public PK programs and Head Start centers that effectively prepared their students for kindergarten. We entered the program in the Spring of 2008 and are fully expecting to receive full certification by the end of 2009. More information...
