The CPSB Pre-K and Early Childhood Department recognizes the vital role parents play in fostering early literacy skills that pave the way for lifelong learning. From sharing a bedtime story to singing nursery rhymes, these moments spark curiosity, build vocabulary, and develop the foundational skills children need for success in school and beyond.

We encourage families to create a literacy-rich environment at home by reading daily, talking about stories, and engaging in playful activities that connect language and learning. Together, we can help your child develop a love for reading and the confidence to thrive academically.

Let’s work hand-in-hand to build a brighter future—one book at a time!

Kindergarten is an exciting milestone that sets the stage for your child’s educational journey. Being ready for kindergarten means more than knowing letters and numbers—it’s about developing the social, emotional, and academic skills that will help your child feel confident and prepared to thrive in a classroom setting.

Our Pre-K and Early Childhood Department is dedicated to supporting families in fostering these critical skills through play-based learning, routines, and interactive activities. Together, we can ensure your child enters kindergarten eager, prepared, and ready to succeed.

The Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) has a wide variety of resources for families to help you prepare your child to become a successful reader.
