Early childhood programs in Montgomery County Public Schools are targeted to children and families affected by poverty, including children with disabilities, and provides them with additional time to acquire literacy, mathematics, and social/emotional skills for success in school and later learning in life. In MCPS, 65 elementary schools have locally funded PreKindergarten and/or federally funded Head Start classes. MCPS also has two regional early childhood centers, one in Silver Spring and the other in Gaithersburg. The requested FY 2021-2026 CIP includes another early childhood center located at Watkins Mill High School. An FY 2021 appropriation was requested to begin planning for this project. Due to fiscal constraints, the County Council, in the adopted FY 2021-2026 CIP did not fund expenditures for this project. This project will be considered in a future CIP.
