12 LPSS Vision 2024 Pre-K/Kindergarten # Readiness 1

The LPSS Early Childhood Department leads a network of partner organizations and agencies (Lafayette Ready Start Network) working together to provide economically disadvantaged children birth to 5 years old with high-quality early care and education. LPSS currently works with 45 program partners in the community. On Track by 5 (Child Care Resource and Referral Agency) provides professional learning opportunities to all Early Learning Centers and Family Child Care Providers, in addition to assisting families in accessing child care. LPSS serves approximately 1,380 Pre-K children at 23 school sites across the district. Truman Early Childhood Education Center serves the majority of these children. In addition to traditional Pre-K settings, LPSS offers seats for four-year-olds in our magnet academies for French immersion, Spanish immersion, two-way immersion, and arts and technology. We also have a licensed childcare center that serves children (6 weeks to 3 years old) of LPSS teen parents. The center provides quality care and education for these young children while the student is completing his/her education. The research is clear – 90% of brain development happens before the age of five. In addition, two out of three Louisiana families have both parents working. Louisiana must provide quality early childhood experiences to build on that potential and ensure families have the support they need.

26 LPSS Vision 2024 Looking Ahead

If the events of the recent past have taught us nothing else, they have shown the critical “The function of importance of education in our society. Indeed, a strong public education system is the very foundation upon which our democracy is built education is to and sustained. Our public schools do far more than prepare students for post-secondary or teach one to think career success; they also promote civic participa- tion and a lifelong love of learning. intensively and We continue to strive for improvements in test scores and other measures of student learning to think critically. to ensure that our graduates enter the world prepared for a future with boundless potential Intelligence plus and opportunities not yet imagined. But we also believe that our schools have a responsibility to character – that is help children reach their full potential as happy, healthy human beings – encouraging their the goal of true creativity, teaching them to be effective problem-solvers and inculcating a spirit of service to the community. education.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Our most important metric for success as a school district ultimately goes beyond letter grades and scoring. We must strive to help each child achieve his/her fullest potential as an individual and as a member of our community. We need our young people to bring new ideas and energy to our local economy, to help us build anew for the future and to contribute to a shared prosperity for all of Lafayette Parish.
