Marietta Academy hosts Georgia's Rising Pre-K Program — a free 6-week summer program designed primarily for Spanish-speaking children preparing to enter Pre-K in the fall.
About the Rising Pre-K Program
The Rising Pre-K Program is a state-funded summer program for children who will enter Georgia's Pre-K Program in the fall — designed primarily for Spanish-speaking children and other dual language learners. Six weeks of structured learning, dual-language instruction, and confidence-building so the first day of Pre-K isn't a culture shock.
The program is fully funded by the state for eligible families. Meals, materials, and weekly enrichment activities are included.
What's Included
