Pre-K
Our district's Pre-K program is home to the youngest JMCSS students.
We currently have 45 Pre-K classes throughout the district. Families must meet state-mandated income and eligibility requirements to be enrolled in a voluntary Pre-K class.
However, there are a few locally funded classes that do not have income requirements. There are also special education classes for students who are served through the district's special education program.
Attending Pre-K helps students grow in social emotional development and helps ease the transition from home to regular elementary school.
Our teachers use an all-inclusive curriculum program, so students progress through learning about different themes throughout the year, from the importance of self to community, all tied to literacy with a book of some sort.
*Pre-K Collaborative at Isaac Lane and Nova Early Learning Center
Isaac Lane and Nova Early Learning Center have a Pre-K collaborative with Northwest Tennessee Head Start/Early Head Start Program. This partnership provides additional resources for our VPK students in the collaborative class. The additional resources are:

- Instructional items for the room (paper, manipulatives, etc.)
