Seven community daycares participate in the School of the 21 Century Preschool Program. The children are involved in learning through Adventure Tours, a traveling Big Book library, monthly daycare teacher training sessions, public library and daycare reading programs and monthly mail out packets to parents.  The program was held in the High School auditorium and 175 children sang and demonstrated what they had learned to a packed house of parents, family and community friends.
