GIVE YOUR CHILD A HEAD START!
Have your 4 or 5-year-old reading before they begin Kindergarten!
The J. C. C. Preschool and its educators do wonderful work in preparing our children for school. Our meaningful play based preschool provides children with the important opportunity to learn through structured and active free play with emphasis on socialization skills, occurring both indoors and out. The “Ready to Read” program takes it just one step further and adds a unique compliment to the Preschool curriculum, one that you won’t find anywhere else in our area.
Through fun and age appropriate material, our New York State certified teachers promote the foundations for both reading and writing before your child enters Kindergarten. Imagine equipping your child with the tools for early reading and writing before they head off to school. What a confidence boost for young learners

We are now in our fourth year of the program and it has proved to be extremely successful for so many children. Find out what parents have to say about “Ready to Read”:
“Your program was instrumental to our daughter’s confidence in entering Kindergarten this past Fall and we just learned at our Parent/Teacher Conference that she is already reading at a first grade level. We are thrilled.”
–Kelly E.
“We entered the program not knowing what to expect. We soon saw results in action! Our 4-year-old was eager to see his “reading friends” each week, his speech improved, he could write his name properly and he enjoyed just sitting with a book. Now in Kindergarten he is reading well ahead of his peers, and more importantly, he is confident in his own abilities. We can’t thank the Ready to Read teachers enough for keeping learning fun and for instilling a love of reading.”
–Nolan B.
“My girls LOVED the reading program at the J.C.C. They were excited to learn new words, play games, and sing songs. Their confidence soared throughout the program, as did their reading skills. By the end of the program, they were reading full sentences and so eager to learn more. One of the best investments for their education to date!”
–Tina W.
“Our children loved the Ready to Read program… and so did we! Reading became a joy and they were well-prepared for Kindergarten. Thank you!”
–Alan and Nina L.
“Both of my sons did the Ready to Read program at J.C.C. and loved it! It was so nice to send them off to kindergarten feeling like they had a great head start on learning to read. The teachers are amazing and you can see how much they love the kids and helping them get started on a lifetime love of reading.”
