Early Reading First™ Curiosity Corner, in partnership with USD 475

The Early Reading First program taught at Loving Arms Child Care & Preschool is part of the President's "Good Start, Grow Smart" initiative, the curriculum is designed to transform existing early childhood education programs into centers of excellence that provide high-quality, early childhood education to young children.

The overall purpose of the Early Reading First Program is to prepare young children to enter kindergarten with the necessary language, cognitive and early reading skills to prevent reading difficulties and ensure school success.

The preschool program uses a research-based curriculum titled "Curiosity Corner", written by the Success for All Foundation at John Hopkins University. The curriculum is a lively program, rich in language and literacy experiences that support activities that help children become readers.

The preschool program includes the administration of various assessments throughout the year connected to language and literacy activities.
