25 Discussion of Pre-K Service Delivery Chart: An example

26 LETS DO A QUICK SURVEY TOGETHER

27 Survey Question – School Readiness In your experience, what is a major reason for lack of Pre-K participation of migrant children? A)No slots/programs available B)Cultural differences C)Limited English proficiency D)Lack of transportation

28 Identified Need Migrant children have low participation in pre-school programs, primarily due to mobility, transportation, and awareness of program options…..

29 Measurable Program Outcome Objective: Increase percentage of migrant preschool children (ages 4 and 5) who participate in preschool programs by 5% each year, in order to meet NC average (43%) by 2013.

30 Strategies Compile a list of local preschool programs that might enroll migrant students…. Develop local community network to create better connections with early childhood programs and perhaps develop formal agreements…. Inform migrant parents of opportunities available… Web resources: uedNov2008-Colorversion.pdf
