Meet the Pals

kid∙FRIENDLy Preschool Pals

A Preschool Pal primarily serves private childcare centers in the 22 districts participating in the kid∙FRIENDLy project. Pals regularly visit childcare centers to provide training and supportive instructional materials to build literacy skills so that children living in the assigned districts become kindergarten ready. Preschool pals collaborate with community partners and public school districts to sustain these efforts.
