Four-year-olds at Keyport Central School are involved in a storytelling project which includes interacting with children at Red Bank Primary School through the magic of video conferencing. They act out stories for each other and share their enthusiasm and excitement for their stories. This project is part of a High Scope Curriculum – which involves active learning. Abbott districts are mandated to fund a preschool program, but in Keyport, the school district funds a full-day, pre-kindergarten program because they understand the value of starting early.
