Horry County Schools offers a full-day Child Development (CD) program for eligible students who will be four years old on or before September 1 of the enrollment year. The CD program is an early intervention for at-risk four-year-olds and is designed to prepare children for success in kindergarten. CD classes are taught by state-certified teachers using S.C Early Learning Standards and a state-approved curriculum.
Program Goals:
- Promote the development of social, emotional, and academic skills
- Encourage language and vocabulary development
- Establish a cooperative, nurturing, and safe learning environment
- Promote decision making, problem-solving, and respect for others
- Form a partnership with parents to meet the needs of each child
