Pre-K/Ready Start Terrebonne

The Title I, 8(g), and LA4 Pre-Kindergarten Programs are designed to provide developmentally appropriate learning experiences for young children. The programs are designed to develop each child's physical, social, emotionally and intellectual abilities. Special Education students are included in the regular Pre-K classrooms. The Terrebonne Parish Public School System Pre-Kindergarten Program is based on the underlying belief that young children learn through age appropriate play. Through this age appropriate play, children develop language, math, science, social, art and technology skills. The Pre-Kindergarten Program supports a safe classroom environment where students can develop trust in adults. The program recognizes that each child is unique and learns and develops in his/her own way.
