PRESCHOOL INITIATIVE

Angel House offers a Preschool Initiative classroom during the school year, September – May. The Iowa Preschool Initiative program was created to increase access to quality preschool programs. In Sioux City the Iowa Preschool Initiative program is a collaboration between community preschools and the Sioux City Community School District.

The Preschool Initiative is a program for children who are four years old by September 15 and reside in Iowa.  Children are taught by a certified early childhood teacher for at least 10 hours per week.  Her/his assistant will also need to meet certain educational criteria.

By participating in this program Angel House has agreed to maintain a high level of quality in our preschool program. Indicators of a quality preschool are:

• An early childhood teacher who holds an Iowa teaching license.
• A teacher assistant who meets certain education criteria.
• Staff attending on-going early childhood professional development.
• Implementation of a research-based early childhood curriculum.
• Assessment of children’s developmental and pre-academic skills on an ongoing basis.
• Offer opportunities for families to be involved in their child’s education (conferences, volunteering, family nights, at home activities, and home visits).
• Meets Iowa Quality Preschool Program Standards that are verified by the Iowa Department of Education.

Our Preschool Initiative program is based on Creative Curriculum, the Iowa Quality Preschool Program Standards (QPPS), and follows the Iowa Early Learning Standards.  The curriculum includes language and literacy, social and emotional development, physical development, mathematics, technology, creative arts, music and expression, science, health, and safety.

A religion curriculum is taught during the day, but not during the designated Preschool Initiative hours.
