Preschool Pioneer now available!

Website for Preschoolers
Teachers, caregivers, librarians, parents and their young children are all exploring many new activities with Preschool Pioneer, a website for kids ages 3 to 6. (http://preschool.uen.org/)

UEN created the free site to give preschool age children, their parents and caregivers trustworthy educational resources and multiple ways to develop critical school readiness skills. “Utah has more than more than 285,000 children under age six. Preschool Pioneer provides options for parents and caregivers to prepare children to be successful students when
they enter school,” says Lisa Cohne, Preschool Pioneer Project Manager.Featuring familiar PBS programs and characters, Preschool Pioneer encourages young children to have fun while developing school readiness skills for reading, numeracy and community awareness. The interactive website includes games, printables, links for parents and caregivers, and a calendar of Utah activities and events for families with young children. The site is accessible via the Internet in homes, libraries, care centers, and school-based early childhood programs.

Check out this fun, free resource with your child today!
Michele, Children's Librarian
