Geographic Area Served:   North Jersey

Purpose:

    The Jersey City Housing Authority provides space in four (soon to be five) housing projects for PreK classes. The Jersey City Public Schools have established eight PreK classes in the sites (two per site). The residents of the housing projects then have access to a four year old PreK program on site. The public schools rent the space and pay rent to the Tenant Management Group at each site. The fifth site will be ready in 1999.

Benefits:

  • Provides space for a preschool program in an area where it is sorely needed.
  • Enables the [school] district to work with youngsters at an early age thus enhancing school success.
  • The Jersey City Public Schools are able to ensure a child's readiness for school with this program.
  • The Housing Authority is better able to meet the needs of their tenant families on site.
