CELEBRATE JORDAN EARLY LEARNING SERVICES DIRECTOR’S GREETING Jordan Public Schools offers early childhood education and preschool opportunities for all families with children between the ages of birth to age five. We recognize that families provide children’s first and most important learning environments and parents are children’s first and most significant teachers. Our Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) programs offer a variety of services and activities to bring families together to share the joys and challenges of parenthood and develop confidence in their own abilities. Our preschool programs ensure children enter kindergarten with the skills and behaviors necessary to be successful in future learning. Preschool is in full swing and our students are thoroughly enjoying their time together. The fall was filled with learning the routines of school, getting to know each other and going on fun adventures. They were able to learn all about the job of a firefighter and check out the fire station, explore the Luceline Orchard, and trick or treat with the residents at Oak Terrace. We look forward to continuing the year and providing our students and families with exceptional programming and opportunities. Our staff continues to strengthen the school experience for students while improving their practice in a collaborative model utilizing district staff development opportunities. For general preschool or ECFE questions, please contact our ELS office at 952-492-3233.
