MCPSC - Recruitment & Retention Fellow

Currently, about 75% of all Monterey County children entering Kindergarten are not yet at age-level in language and literacy and/or English Language development skills. The direct, ongoing tutoring sessions provided by Preschool Service Corps members will serve to address this gap.
Preschool Service Corps members support a small group of children and provide each child with five tutoring sessions per week, totaling up to 15 hours of one-on-one or small group interactions. Tutoring sessions are scheduled in a minimum of fifteen-minute increments during a school day. Preschool Service Corps members utilize an assortment of books, resources, and educational activities to enhance their tutoring sessions. In addition to focusing on student achievement, the program strives to develop students' interest in Language and Literacy.
The program builds commitment to community by participating in a variety of community service events throughout the year.
