Trust for Early Education Web site Sign Up for Updates [ Printer Friendly ] Why It Matters Education does not begin in kindergarten and end with a final, formal class. Education begins at birth and continues long after graduation. Despite a lot of research that demonstrates the importance of high quality pre-kindergarten (pre-K) in a child's cognitive, social and emotional development, the United States does not provide the opportunity for all children to attend high quality pre-K programs. Concerned policymakers and community leaders must focus on the years leading up to kindergarten by guaranteeing access to high quality, voluntary, educational pre-K programs to all 3- and 4-year-olds. The Case for High Quality Pre-Kindergarten Many children enter kindergarten not prepared to learn. For example, the Maryland State Department of Education found that only 52 percent of children entered kindergarten fully ready to learn.

Special Education Resources for Parents If you have a child with special needs, it’s important that you be involved in the decisions about your child’s school program—After all, you know your child better than anyone! The federal law known as IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) makes it clear that parents are equal members of the educational team that develops a child’s special education plan. Keeping up with the complex laws and policies that apply to children with special needs however, is an ongoing challenge for parents and teachers alike. PLACES TO CALL: MCPS Parent Information and Training Center (PITC), 301-962-3848 . Parent educators at the center can explain the basic laws and the MCPS processes and options for special education. In addition to phone consultation, PITC staff conduct workshops on a number of topics. Parents’ Place of Maryland, 410-859-5300, offers information and referral, a free newsletter, workshops around the state, and a website: www.ppmd.org where, among other things, you can download a booklet called Special Education Rights  and Wrongs , published by the Maryland Disability Law Center (also available in print form for free by calling MDLC at 1-800-233-7201).
