Parents wanting to give their pre-schooler a jump on academic success should attend the Warren County Little Learners Parent Education Class this coming Tuesday, Jan. 21.“The goal for the program is to increase the interaction between parents and children in an effort to make sure their children are ready for school,” said Autumn Turner, Warren County Schools director of teaching and learning for grades pre-K through 6.Getting parents involved now helps make sure children are where they should be when school begins. “We have some children who start kindergarten years behind where they should be,” said Turner. “We give parents the information on small things they can do to make a big difference in their child’s academic future, like reading to them 20 minutes a day.”Kindergarten screening is done prior to children entering school.
