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:

• Staff (an additional teacher assistant will be in this class; 1 to 6/7 ratio)
• Indoor and outdoor equipment (iPad, age-appropriate furniture, etc.)
• Health, Mental Health and Disability services for your child and family
• Instructional items for the room (paper, manipulatives, etc.)
• Family engagement opportunities and activities
• Family advocacy through a Head Start Family Advocate
• Educational classroom support for the family and child throughout the school year

If you are interested in being considered for this class, be sure to let Lisa Lewis know when you turn in the needed documents during registration. For more information you may call 731-215-2730 or email Kristin Peachey
