The Problem
Every fall, too many children are struggling when they enter kindergarten. Without early intervention, the achievement and readiness gaps widen.
42% of kindergarten students in school divisions participating in the Virginia Kindergarten Readiness Program (VKRP) entered school not ready in literacy, math, self- regulation or social skills.
The Solution
High-quality early education can close the achievement and readiness gaps.
The New E3 School is a state-of-the-art demonstration model school for children ages one to five located in the Park Place neighborhood of Norfolk. The innovative, mixed-income model focuses on the elements of high quality that lead to kindergarten readiness for all children.
The STREAMin3 model is being piloted in over 100 classrooms (private, faith-based, the Virginia Preschool Initiative and Head Start) across the state.
The Results
· All four-year-old children met or exceeded the benchmarks for literacy, math, social skills & self-regulation regardless of socioeconomic background.
· All children receiving scholarships met or exceeded the benchmarks in math, self-regulation and social skills.
· Every classroom met or exceeded the benchmarks in each of the CLASS domains.
The school is a catalyst for policy change
and impacting children in our region & Virginia.
