Preparing our student population to enter kindergarten at or above the state school readiness goals is our primary objective. Our screening, assessment and curriculum tools allow us to identify potential development delays and measure each child’s school readiness.
School Readiness Goals
Social & Emotional Development
Children demonstrate positive interactions and a sense of belonging through relationships with adults and peers. They develop the ability to recognize and regulate emotions, attention, impulses and behavior.
Language & Literacy
Children are able to verbally and non-verbally express wants and needs, engage in conversations, follow directions, and demonstrate age-appropriate emergent literacy skills.
Cognition & Mathematics
Children find multiple solutions to questions and challenges using reasoning skills. They use math in everyday routines to count, compare, pattern, and problem solve.
Frog Street Curriculum
CKYHS utilizes Frog Street Press curriculum for our classrooms. Frog Street is a nationally-recognized, research-based curriculum that covers literacy, math, and content domains. All CKYHS teaching staff are trained in how to best implement Frog Street in your child’s classroom.
Quality Standards
Our highly qualified teachers carry out our core mission every day. Each of our centers remain at the highest levels of standards as indicated by our STARS for KIDS NOW ratings. Additionally, several of our Head Start centers have been awarded accreditation by the National Association for Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
