Early Childhood Education

Early childhood education (ECE) at BCPS includes a focus on early literacy to prepare students with the foundational skills they need for their learning and lives. Starting with basic letters and sounds all the way through recognizing and writing words, we work to give our youngest learners a jump start into literacy. ECE programs include pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and the summer Kindergarten Success Program. All early childhood education students also gain access to the Raising a Reader Program, a family engagement initiative that encourages families to read and learn together. Families who enroll receive free books weekly.

Pre-K and kindergarten are the beginning of your child’s educational journey. With the caring support of our BCPS teachers, educators and learning specialists, your child will learn key social, literacy and motor skills and develop a love of learning to carry them forward.

We know that each child’s experience is unique, especially this year as many children who might have otherwise been in Pre-K or kindergarten were unable to attend. We are here to help you make the best choices for your child’s educational journey.
