The overarching goal of Project Choice Early Beginnings is to improve the academic success and integration of kindergarten students in Project Choice settings.  Early Beginnings is focused on the kindergarten level and enrolls Hartford students in full-day kindergarten programs in suburban schools*.  Early Beginnings supports school districts by providing enrichment for participating classrooms through facilitators who spend time in kindergarten classrooms supports students’ progress.  Through the efforts of the facilitators, improved instruction, and better communication help to facilitate a smooth transition for students, their families and the schools.  

*These schools may or may not already have a full-day program. In those with half-day programs, CREC works with the schools and with local child care facilities to create full-day programs.
