Welcome to Early Childhood Education Works

Preschoolers aren't exactly reading yet, but they're learning the basics. Thanks to donations to the Early Childhood Education Fund at The Community Foundation, many pre-kindergarten children throughout Decatur and Macon County now have books to take home and keep.

Providing books is part of the work of the Early Childhood Education Consortium convened by The Community Foundation. The purpose of the Consortium is to improve education outcomes of children in childcare settings and expand direct services to children through families and care givers.

The idea behind providing the books is to make it as easy as possible for parents to read to their preschoolers at home and give children a head start on reading. Here are some titles in the series collected by the Consortium and given to families.

White Rabbit's Color Book
Ten Black Dots
It Begins with an A
Farm Alphabet Book
I Went Walking
If You're Angry and You Know It
Growing Vegetable Soup
Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel
Annabelle Swift, Kindergartner
The Kissing Hand

For the book project the Consortium is seeking donations of money or books like these. For more information contact Kindergarten Readiness Coordinator York Powers, 429-3000, ypowers@dps61.org. Website: www.decaturnet.org/ecew.
