What Will My Child Learn in Pre-K?
The Atlanta Public Schools Pre-K program is grounded in state standards for developmentally-appropriate instruction. We've adopted a new curriculum to support robust student learning that encourages play, creativity, and curiosity in learning across the content areas.
These research-based early learning standards identify what students from birth to age 5 should know and be able to do. The standards are written as a continuum of skills and behaviors that children should develop during the critical early learning years. The GELDS supports the growth of the whole child and encompasses the physical, social, emotional and cognitive aspects of learning and development in an age appropriate manner. The GELDS promote quality early experiences and are aligned to the K-12 Georgia Standards of Excellence. You can learn more about the GELDS here.
