CGLR PROGRAMS in DORCHESTER
Early Learning Program - in collaboration with the YMCA
The YMCA's Early Learning Readiness Program helps to prepare your child for Pre-K and continued learning. ELR provides a stimulating environment for children to play and learn while developing the physical, verbal, and social skills they'll need to successfully begin school.
Pre K 3 pilot program with Dorchester County Public
The theory behind this pilot program is to provide children with two years of pre-k, which should correlate to improved kindergarten readiness. The current 2022-2023 school year is the second cohort of students.
Ready 4 K
The Wyatt Foundation in conjunction with Dorchester County Public Schools will launch an evidenced based text message program to engage families with their child's education.
