A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.

With about 19 teachers, PIERCE EARLY CHILDHOOD has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. 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.

Unlike traditional elementary schools, Pierce focuses exclusively on the foundational years of a child's development, serving pre-kindergarten students. The school is designed to provide an age-appropriate environment that emphasizes early literacy, social-emotional growth, and foundational academic skills to prepare young learners for their transition into primary education.

As a dedicated early childhood center, the school utilizes curriculum tailored to the unique developmental needs of three- and four-year-olds.
