Welcome to Berkeley County Schools and our West Virginia Pre-K Program. Since its inception in 2002, West Virginia has been a national pioneer in providing a state-wide Pre-K program.
Berkeley County Schools Universal Pre-K Program is a collaboration of Berkeley County Schools, EPIC Head Start, and participating childcare centers. All classrooms are inclusive with a maximum of 20 students. Most classrooms have one teacher and two teaching assistants; however, some have only one teacher and one teaching assistant, meaning they meet or exceed the required ratio of 1 adult to 10 children.
Classroom instruction focuses on the following five domains as described in the WV Pre-K Standards Ages 3-5: Social and Emotional Development, the Arts, Physical Health and Development, Language and Literacy, and Mathematics and Science.
Classroom teachers use Creative Curriculum, the stated adopted Pre-K curriculum.
