School Readiness of AVANCE Children

Teachers from Pre-K to Kindergarten tell us AVANCE children are “Ready for school.”

A survey conducted in 2000 shows children whose parents had graduated from the AVANCE Parent-Child Education Program are equipped with skills to make the grade.

Teachers were asked a series of questions regarding the school readiness of the AVANCE children in comparison to the other children in the classroom and they reported the following:

• 82% Know their Letters
