the End of All-Day Kindergarten?

From the Daily Beast: "Kids benefit from more hours in school, studies show. So why are full-day kindergarten programs on the chopping block across the country? " All-day kindergarten programs have been steadily on the rise across the country and 60% of schools now offer a full-day program. Many parents and teachers believe attending school a full day helps kids tremendously and many studies have proven its advantages. Still, with school districts facing severe budget deficits, all-day kindergarten programs might be the targets of drastic funding cuts.

Tucker-Maxon School

Description

Tucker-Maxon began in 1947 as a school where children with hearing loss learned to talk. Today we educate children with typical hearing and children with hearing loss together in small, collaborative classes. Our students who are deaf do not use sign language. Instead, with the help of digital hearing aids, cochlear implants, early diagnosis, and early intervention, our students who are deaf learn to speak and listen very well! Our students with typical hearing benefit from our highly-qualified teachers, language development focus, and low student-teacher ratios. All our students learn to value differences and believe in social justice.

Programs:
Early intervention (for children with hearing loss, newborn-3)
Preschool (for all children, ages 3-5)
Elementary (for all children, Grades K-5)

Services:
Audiology
Speech and Language Therapy
