Preschool / Early Learning
Children who attend preschool are much better prepared than those who do not. Students who attend a structured program prior to entering kindergarten are more inclined to: n Follow class rules n Follow directions n Get along with peers and adults n Know their alphabet, colors and other key
academic measures
n Work independently
Akron Public Schools preschool/early learning program provides children ages 3-5 with an affordable, structured curriculum to set them up for success as they enter kindergarten. Our program integrates typically developing children and those with special needs. The program operates morning and afternoon 3-year-old and Pre-K sessions. Full-day services may be available for children with specialized needs, such as hearing impairment and autism. Most students attend for free. Others pay a nominal fee. All APS preschool teachers hold bachelor’s degrees and are state licensed for preschool. Many hold a master’s degree. The preschool/early learning program at APS is licensed by the Ohio Department of Education Office of Early Learning and School Readiness and continues to exceed all state requirements.
