DERBY >> Preparing children “socially, emotionally and academically” for their educational careers is exactly what a newly expanded preschool program at Derby High School aims to do.
That’s according to Superintendent of Schools Matthew Conway, who along with other school officials will unveil the new preschool at 7 p.m. Thursday at DHS, 8 Nutmeg Dr.
Derby used $94,000 in state Alliance District Grant funds to renovate a former art wing at the high school, and transform it into the preschool space.
Currently, Derby has a small preschool program with 23 children enrolled that
is run out of Bradley and Irving schools. The newly expanded program will
accommodate 54 children, Conway said, in its first round, and ultimately another
30 seats will be opened up.
