Our Goals for Students
We want every child in the Tyler area to have equitable access to high-quality preschool and other school preparation programs.
To do that, we will
- Improve the quality of Smith County childcare centers
- Increase the percentage of Early Childhood teachers with a postsecondary credential
- Help parents prepare their children for kindergarten by providing kindergarten readiness materials, checklists, and other important information.
