Luthercare for Kids continues to find new ways to grow, evolve and partner with community organizations.
This fall, Luthercare for Kids – Reamstown announced a collaboration with Cocalico School District to operate a new classroom within Reamstown Elementary School. The agreement with the district enables Luthercare for Kids to operate a state-funded preschool class to financially eligible 3- and 4-year-old children. The class of 20 students includes 15 spots funded by a Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts grant, which enables children from low-income families to begin their education a year or two before kindergarten begins. Full-day instruction will be provided, and the program is expected to open as soon as the site is inspected by the state Department of Human Services.
Before- and after-school care for the Pre-K Counts class will be available at the elementary school. The Luthercare for Kids – Reamstown Early Learning Center, which is located across the street from Reamstown Elementary School, continues to offer early learning child care services for infants, toddlers and preschoolers, as well as before- and after-school care for school-age children at the center.
“We are pleased to be able to partner with Cocalico School District to bring these important services to Reamstown Elementary, and we look forward to the positive impact this wonderful collaboration will have for the children and families of the community,” said Lorita Valente, Luthercare’s Executive Director of Community Programs.
Cocalico School District takes providing support for every child very seriously, and that begins before they even enter kindergarten.
