Whitefoord Prekindergarten Program
Preschool in Atlanta, GA 30317
Our Child Development Program was established in 1998 to increase the quality, quantity, and accessibility of child care for residents of the Edgewood community. The program has expanded from its initial enrollment of 20 four year olds to 125 children ages six months to five years( through the Ga. lottery funded Pre-K Program).
The CDP has adopted the High Scope Learning Approach Curriculum. The goal of this curriculum is to provide children with an environment that stimulates learning, encourages curiosity, exploration, problem solving, and self-expression through hands-on activities. We believe children learn by doing – through actively manipulating and exploring their environment
