A pre-kindergarten program funded by the PA Department of Education Office of Child Development and Early Learning is now being offered to qualifying Smoketown families in partnership with the Owl Hill Learning Centers based in Lititz. The classes are staffed by PA State certified early childhood teachers and qualified early childhood teaching assistants. Students attend the program for five and a half hours each day (8:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.) for 180 days of instruction, following the Conestoga Valley School District calendar. Materials and lunch are provided at no cost to families. Transportation is the responsibility of the family; no busing is offered for this program.

The program is open to children who will be four years of age (on or before August 24) in families at not more than 300 percent of poverty. Please review this information on income and family size to determine if your family qualifies for consideration in this program.
