The years before kindergarten are crucial for young children. Statistics show that children who attend a high-quality preschool enter kindergarten with better beginning reading skills, stronger basic math skills and richer vocabularies. The preschool programs offered at Plymouth Community School Corporation address much more than academics. Our team of preschool teachers—Angela Hissong, Candace Hunter, Carolina Sanchez, and Madison Sonner and their team of assistants—focus on providing all students with the building blocks necessary to develop social-emotional and cooperative skills. This video offers a glimpse inside the three types of preschool options at Plymouth schools. We are equally proud of each program. If you are interested in more information about our three various programs, contact Jefferson Elementary and complete an online application on the PCSC registration website now.
