New Early Ed Programs

CSC will open six prek classrooms this fall through a $924,000 grant from the state called PreK Counts. Five of the classrooms will operate in Allentown and one in Easton. The program is free to children from low-income families (300% of poverty). 120 more children in the Lehigh Valley will be better prepared for success in kindergarten through this program.

All classes will adhere to the state’s Early Learning Standards. CSC is also working collaboratively with the Bethlehem Area School District, which is adding 40 more students to its early learning initiative. CSC has attained the highest recognition for excellence in prek preparation through its Early Head Start and Head Start programs. Its classes are NAEYC and Middle States accredited.
