According to Alexandria's Early Care and Education Workforce, approximately 25% (or 300) five year olds enter ACPS kindergarten with no previous pre-k experience. Www.actforalexandria.org/early-care-education  (Baseline Report, 2016). We know that between 10 - 11% of these children will have a disability that might be helped before they start kindergarten. Our goal is to reach as many of these children as possible with a free developmental screening and then to connect their families with follow-up resources and services as appropriate (Child Find, Learn and Playgroups, etc.).
