Congratulations to the staff of Paducah Head Start on receiving a five -star rating from the Kentucky Department of Education in the preschool division.
The rating is based on the criteria of family and community engagement, classroom instructional outcomes, leadership and administration, and staff qualifications and professional development.
“We know day in and day out that we have one of the best, if not the best, early childhood centers in western Kentucky — providing full-day services for the children in our classrooms,” Lewis said. “This just acknowledges that, but also it allows us to let families know that where their child is going is a highly rated preschool program, because that’s what a family needs to know."
Paducah Public Schools sees your child's 𝙪𝙣𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡.
That's why the district creates an environment where students can try, test and become who they're meant to be in the classroom, on the field and out in our community.
