Preschool Details: In July, 2014, Federal Programs was renamed Foundational Learning and Family Engagement. Our new department name and logo reflect the comprehensive services we provide, rather than the associated funding. Because we serve the same students and the same schools, the department’s mission aligns closely with those of the HCPS departments of Elementary Education and Exceptional Education. Our three main areas of focus are 1) providing foundational preschool experiences to our youngest and most vulnerable population, 2) providing foundational learning in reading and math in our most challenged schools, and 3) facilitating the engagement of all families in their children’s education. The overall goal of HCPS Federal Programs Preschool is to provide students the opportunity to learn by helping them discover answers through hands-on learning activities that stimulate their curiosity and creativity. The preschool program curriculum strives to increase language development, motor and thinking skills and social interactions through cooperative learning activities. The curriculum also focuses on social, emotional and physical development. Currently, there are 54 preschool classrooms in 25 buildings in Henrico County. Students attend preschool five days a week for 6.25 hours a day. Breakfast, lunch and a snack are provided to students participating in the preschool programs. The funding for Federal Programs Preschool is provided by grants (from the federal Head Start and Title I 4-year-old programs; the Virginia Preschool Initiative; and the Virginia Preschool Initiative Plus program), braided to create one consistent program at all schools.
