It is an exciting time in Pennsylvania for initiatives in early childhood care and education. And once again the Owl Hill Learning Center is at the forefront of this progress.
PA Pre-K Counts -
The Owl Hill Learning Centers were awarded two separate grants for the 2007-2008 school year to enhance the existing prekindergarten programs in the Lititz and Lancaster sites and to offer quality early education to additional children. The Lititz site is now part of a partnership with Manheim Township School District and opened a new site at Reidenbaugh Elementary School offering prekindergarten to 17 children there. Likewise the Lancaster site is a PA PreK Counts partner with the School District of Lancaster. The Lititz and Lancaster sites have been able to fill under utilized capacity in both K/3 and K/4 classes and in some cases have been able to offer financial assistance to existing qualified families. The additional recourses have also resulted in increased staff compensation and training additional equipment instructional and class materials and support for the educational program.
