Painesville City Local School’s Red Raider Preschool Program has received a Gold rating, the highest available, through a rating system developed by The Department of Children and Youth. The “Step Up to Quality” rating system assesses the program’s curriculum, qualifications of staff, assessment process, and family collaboration. Highly rated programs, such as Red Raider Preschool, focus on whole child development to prepare children for kindergarten. Pre-Academic skills, social-emotional development, motor skill development, language development and “soft” skill development such as persistence and creativity, all have equal importance in preparing children for elementary school.
