Summer Pre-K Program

First 5 Alameda County Every Child Counts (ECC) sponsors Summer Pre-K Programs at local low-performing and high-need elementary schools. The programs provide quality transitional early childhood experiences for children without prior preschool or child care experience who will enter Kindergarten. The First 5 Alameda County evaluation of the Summer Pre-K Camps (using High Scope) demonstrated that participating children made significant gains in a number of developmental areas including Initiative, Language and Literacy and Social Interactions during the 6 week summer program, which contribute to their ability to succeed in elementary school.
