"A national survey of public kindergarten teachers noted three primary essentials for school readiness: that children are physically healthy, rested, and well nourished; that they are able to communicate needs, wants, and thoughts verbally; and that they are enthusiastic and curious in approaching new activities. Georgia's Pre-K Program provides children with experiences that foster all these essentials.
An appropriate program for four year olds is not a watered down kindergarten program. Children learn through play and learning centers which are integral parts of prekindergarten classrooms. Pre-K programs reflect an understanding of how children learn by emphasizing active learning, consistent daily routines, and the use of positive behavioral management and assessment strategies. The school readiness goals of the Pre-K program provide appropriate preschool experiences emphasizing growth in language and literacy, math concepts, science, social studies, arts, physical development, and social and emotional competence."
