Welcome to Eldorado High School NM Pre-K Program.EHS NM Pre-K offers:
"Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges." NM PED Pre-K Information.WHAT IS NM PED PRE-K?
New Mexico PreK is a voluntary program created by the Pre-Kindergarten Act of 2005 and is jointly administered by the Public Education Department (PED) and the Children, Youth, and Families Department (CYFD). PreK ensures that every child in New Mexico has the op-portunity to attend a high-quality, early child- hood education program before entering kindergarten. The purpose of New Mexico PreK is to....
The EHS preschool program is unique in that it serves the need for both high quality, full time preschool through the NM PED Pre-K model, as well as providing opportunities for enthusiastic high school students interested in early childhood education and teaching to work with the children and learn about ECE under the supervision of both an certified early childhood and high school instructor. The high school students enrolled in the elective courses Working with Young Children generally are interested in a career related to young children, child development and/or education and want the opportunity to work first hand with young children while still attending high school. This course trains students in areas of child growth and development, child guidance, health and safety, curriculum and lesson planning and allows them to apply content learned in class in a real-world situation - our preschool! Students spend time observing and working directly with the children. ELIGIBILITY & PRIORITIZATION:
When our program has reached capacity of 20 children we maintain a waitlist. Families are called monthly to verify interest in remaining on the waitlist or if they have found a different program and wish to be removed from the list. LOGISTICS & ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS: The EHS Pre-K program is only offered full day (start & end time TBD), full time (5 days a week) following all APS holidays and breaks. Per NM PED Pre-k policy, for children to receive the full benefits of participating in NM PED Pre-K are expected to attend at least 90% of the time. Families will be informed of the attendance policy when registering. HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? Please email our Pre-K teacher, Mrs. Gabaldon at [email protected] for specific questions about the program or your child's placement. Where we are located. |
