Basic Beginnings PROJECT PRESCHOOL has been operating since September 2003.  PROJECT PRESCHOOL is funded and monitored by the Wyoming Department of Education and the Wyoming Department of Family Services.  Preschool teachers are degreed and certified in Elementary and Early Childhood Education and have several years of experience in teaching young children.  Many Laramie home child care providers cooperate with Basic Beginnings, enabling children in their home-based child care program to attend Basic Beginnings during either the morning or afternoon preschool time.  Free transportation is provided between home care provider programs and Basic Beginnings. A limited number of full or partial scholarships are available to qualifying families.

The curriculum focuses on the domains established in the Wyoming Early Childhood Readiness Standards, including:

• Language
• Literacy
• Social Emotional Development
• Approaches to Learning
• Mathematics
• Science
• Physical Health and Development
• Creative Arts

Regular assessments of children's developmental progress are used to plan for each child's unique strengths as well as needs.  Regular conversation with parents are vital in determining the goals for each child for the school year.  A volunteer Parent Advisory Team assists the teachers in creating a strong cooperative relationship between the PROJECT PRESCHOOL teaching staff and the families of our children.

Information about enrolling your child in PROJECT PRESCHOOL may be obtained by contacting either Basic Beginnings at (307)745-5755 or by asking your child's daily care provider for details.
