The Schuylerville Public Library will host a free preschool program, “Counting Down to Kindergarten” from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays beginning Jan. 9, 2017.
The 16-week program, that requires parent participation, is taught by Jenny Edwards, a preschool teacher with Noah’s Ark Preschool in Latham and the library’s early childhood library clerk.
Edwards started the library program as there is no free preschool associated with Schuylerville Central School district.
“The board decided to fill in this gap,” said Edwards. “Early literacy is important to a child’s future academic success.”
