The Bessie Pregerson Child Development Center is a state licensed, year round, full day Preschool program emphasizing state-of-the-art early childhood development practices and instruction.

The majority of the children in attendance come from residents of The Village, however, toddlers and Preschoolers from the local community may also enroll, provided space is available.

In fact, the children often exhibit trauma from these conditions, which have led to deficiencies in education and emotional and behavioral problems. A qualified childcare staff provides an excellent curriculum designed to meet the individual, physical, social, emotional, cognitive and linguistic needs of each child while enhancing self-esteem, life skills and the ability to recapture the joys of play. The focus of the Center is to prepare the children for succesSFul entry into kindergarten and ongoing achievement in later school years.
