Department of Early Childhood Education
Brief Overview of F.A.C.E.:
F.A.C.E = Family Advisory Committee for Early Childhood Education
It is a vital part of the program because we believe that parents must be involved in the education of their children. Serving on this advisory council is just one of the ways parents can be involved.
We welcome any parent who would like to serve in this capacity.
“Every child we serve will be successful and prepared to enter kindergarten.”

Kindergarten Readiness, KRA - what to expect
More information at: https://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Early-Learning/Kindergarten/Ohios-Kindergarten-Readiness-Assessment
At the beginning of each school year, children in public and community school kindergarten programs are assessed using Ohio’s Kindergarten Readiness Assessment Revised. This assessment includes ways for teachers to measure a child’s readiness for engaging with instruction aligned to the kindergarten standards.
Ohio’s Early Learning and Development Standards (birth to kindergarten entry) are the basis for the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment Revised. The Kindergarten Readiness Assessment Revised is used to assess four areas of early learning:
Social Foundations- including social and emotional development, and approaches toward learning
Mathematics
Language and Literacy
Physical Well-being and Motor Development
