A high-quality educational experience in a Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) kindergarten program is important because we know the majority of a child's brain develops by age five.  An early childhood learning experience provides students with nurturing, play-based activities that encourage the development of minds that inquire, think critically and problem solve.  Our educators are highly trained to deliver early literacy skills and focus on language-rich programs and social & emotional development skills to help children succeed throughout their educational career.
