Grainger County's pre-school program strives to provide four year old
children with essential skills for success in kindergarten and beyond.
Each
site serves twenty (20) students. Classroom staff understands that
children develop at individual rates. This understanding is reflected
in the daily lesson plans of each classroom teacher, in small group and
individual instruction, and in the use of materials that are appropriate
for the different developmental levels.
Who is Eligible?
All children who will turn four years old by August 15 could qualify for a Pre-K program. Anyone may apply, regardless of income; however, priority is given to those that meet income eligibility. Proof of income must be provided to determine eligibility.. A Pre-K teacher or school administrator can answer any questions or concerns.
Students who have diagnosed/suspected disabilities are great candidates
for most Pre-K programs. In fact, collaboration with our Special
Education Department helps specialize plans that best fit your child. Grainger County also has a 619 program located at Rutledge Primary School. This program is designed for 3 year old children who may have
learning disabilities, physical disabilities, or other impairments that affect a child's education.
