Welcome to Preschool

 As early childhood educators, we know that young children learn best when actively involved in a comfortable, healthy, flexible, and fun environment.  For children ages three to five years old who meet specific eligibility requirements, the Clark County Preschool Early Education Programs, or “P.E.E.P.s”, offers an extended five-hour session for five days a week.   "P.E.E.P.s" is coordinated by Clark County Schools and the Kentucky River Foothills Head Start Program.  The adopted curriculum is designed to provide children with  opportunities to make daily discoveries about themselves and their surroundings, as well as to better prepare them for their kindergarten experience.  Breakfast and lunch (including free & reduced-cost meals) are available, and transportation to and from school may be provided.
 The benefits of the Clark County Preschool Early Education Programs include:

• Kentucky Department of Education Certified or Approved Preschool Teachers

•  Classrooms located in district elementary schools & the Generations Center.

• Curriculum aligned with Kentucky Early Childhood Standards, with focus on early literacy, pre-writing activities (Handwriting without Tears program), math/cognitive skills, motor development, social skills, music, technology, & more.
