Friends:
The Ramsey County Parent Collaborative is an initiative designed to raise the profile of Early Childhood Education Issues in our community and to encourage more parents and community leaders to think creatively about how we prepare our youngest children for the transition to K-12 education.
Last week, the collaborative launched a six week online discussion focused on the topic of Early Childhood Education in conjunction with this years election.
We would like to invite YOU, to join with other interested parents, citizens, professionals, and public officials in our discussion - about how we (as a community) can best meet the Early Childhood Education needs of our children.
* What do children need to be prepared for kindergarten?
* Why is it that almost 50% of our children are not ready to
enter kindergarten? What can we do to improve this
situation?
* What programs are available?
* Which programs are most effective?
* As a community how do we best encourage and support
early childhood education?Here is your chance to ask questions and share your thoughts on Early Childhood Education with other parents as well experts in the field.
