Why Pre-K Matters

The early years are some of the most important in a child’s life. Research shows that children who attend a high-quality Pre-K program are more prepared for kindergarten, more confident in social settings, and more likely to succeed academically long term.

Pre-K helps children:

  • Build early literacy and math skills
  • Develop curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving abilities
  • Learn how to collaborate, share, and communicate
  • Grow independence and confidence in a school setting

At Slater, we make sure these critical early experiences are engaging, supportive, and meaningful.

Purpose Built Schools Atlanta

 

Atlanta Public Schools partners with Purpose Built Schools Atlanta, a nonprofit organization with extensive expertise in turnaround education, to operate three traditional APS schools in south Atlanta: Slater Elementary School, Price Middle School, and Carver STEAM Academy.

Partner schools are not charter schools. We are traditional APS public schools. Every student who lives in our attendance zone can enroll in our schools. All of our students are APS students and count toward APS’ enrollment goals.

PBSA receives per-pupil funding from APS at the district’s average rate—just as if our schools were operated directly by APS. Without PBSA, the district would still be responsible for investing the same dollars to educate these same students in these same schools.
