Graduation Fun at Early Learning Center @ Schreiber Register your child today for a year of education preparation! By Linea Olbon, Director, Early Childhood Education
And that’s a wrap! Preschool students recently ended the school year with an educational visit to the Akron Zoo, graciously funded by PNC Foundation. Funding included transportation, admission, and lunch. Filling 13 buses, over 600 students and parents attended the zoo as a preschool family! We saw many animals and made several connections between what we learned throughout the year from our Akron Zoo classroom visits to those animals we saw in person. It’s been a busy end to the year as students also graduated preschool in preparation for their transition to Kindergarten in the fall. Over 250 students were celebrated, and approximately 600 parents/family members were in attendance. Since the brain develops most during the preschool years, we “emphasize” preschool graduation as a way to begin a child’s education, as well as end it. It is critically important for students to understand and appreciate the value of a high-quality education, and it begins in these early years. It is our hope that every child graduates high school in the future as they acquire a worldview of life’s possibilities and the confidence to pursue their dreams using the knowledge and skills learned in the Canton City School District.
We are still enrolling students in preschool for the 2022-23 school year. We offer half and full-day programming that includes the following: • Affordable programming (in most cases, it is free, with the max being $1.50 per day) • Degreed teachers and amazing Education Assistants in every classroom • Transportation (if over a onemile radius from the Center) • Breakfast and Lunch • Implementation of the Ohio Early Learning Standards • Exposure to the Arts (visual, dance, drama, and music) • Mental Health Services • AND MORE!! Feel free to contact our Early Childhood Office at 330-580-3033 to receive further registration information and learn how you can receive a registration packet. You may also email olbon_l@ccsdistrict.org to have one emailed to you (you will need to print out the packet to complete it). Our program fills up quickly and is based on first come first serve. We look forward to hearing from you!
