EARLY CHILDHOOD

EARLY CHILDHOOD is a Title I public prekindergarten school that is part of the WORTHINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in WORTHINGTON, MN with about 30 students. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 2 teachers, EARLY CHILDHOOD has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The EARLY CHILDHOOD center located at 117 11th Ave. in Worthington, Minnesota, functions as a foundational component of the Worthington School District (ISD 518). This facility is dedicated to the developmental needs of the community’s youngest learners, providing structured educational programs designed to prepare children for their transition into elementary school. By focusing on early academic exposure and social-emotional growth, the center serves as a critical entry point for students beginning their journey within the public school system.

As part of the broader ISD 518 network, the EARLY CHILDHOOD program benefits from the district's commitment to inclusive and comprehensive education. Families looking for detailed information regarding enrollment, curriculum specifics, or program offerings can access the district’s official website at http://www.isd518.net. The facility acts not only as an educational space but as a resource for parents seeking to foster early learning habits within the Worthington area.
