PreK Opens

Using grant money awarded by the state, CSC opened six new classrooms for preschoolers in December 2007: five in Allentown and one in Easton. A total of 120 four year olds are engaging in exciting, quality preschool so they are better prepared for success in kindergarten next year.

The state awarded $942,000 to CSC to open the new classrooms. In Allentown, St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church and the Church of the Nazarene are hosting two classrooms each. The fifth is located at Cumberland Gardens. The preschool classroom in Easton is located in the 600 block of Northampton, part of the West Ward revitalization zone.

To qualify for the free preschool, children must have a disability or learning English as a second language or live in a family with income qualifications. To make inquiries, please call 610-437-6000, ext 2351.
