About HELPS me!

Preschool has always been crucial for establishing a firm developmental foundation for a child before they enter formal schooling. However, recent studies hint that something called "preschool fadeout" is changing the path of preschool and elementary learning forever. Join us as we explore how preschool fadeout affects our local public schools, try to discover solutions to the issue, and discuss the way the COVID-19 pandemic has changed everything.
