Each child, in each pre-school and kindergarten, in each of our communities deserves to be healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. The ever increasing demands of the 21st century require a new approach to education to fully prepare students for college, career, and citizenship.
Research, practice, and common sense confirm that a whole child approach to education will develop and prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of today and tomorrow by addressing students’ comprehensive needs through the shared responsibility of students, families, schools, and communities.
In short, a whole child approach provides for long-term student success.
