Roberson, Katy
Educational Leadership, v55 n4 p70-72 Dec-Jan 1997-1998
To serve poor youngsters and their families, South Bay Union School District developed its own preschool campus, the VIP (Very Important Preschoolers) Village. The program depends on strong administrative support, planned staff development, parent involvement, parent education programs, community partnerships, curriculum/assessment alignment, and long-term followup. Preschool graduates are outscoring district and Title I comparison groups. (MLH)
