PreK Programs in Ottawa Area
Knowing the alphabet is only part of being ready for kindergarten. To be prepared for school, children must also be excited and curious about learning and confident they can succeed. Participating in a high-quality preK program such as the Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP), Head Start or tuition-based programs can help give children the skills they need to enter kindergarten ready to learn. These programs also teach children how to manage their own feelings and behaviors, understand the feelings of others, and get along with their peers and teachers making the transition to kindergarten that much easier.
Ottawa Area preKs provide half-day morning and afternoon as well as full-day preK options with some locations offering wrap-around childcare. Did you know a family of 4 can make up to $90,000 and be eligible for free preK? Additionally, a family of 4 making up to $120,000 may be eligible for free preK when considering other factors.
