"The mission of the Davenport Community School District is to enhance each student's abilities by providing a quality education enriched by our diverse community."
A few years ago we were able to extend this mission not only to the families of children in the arena of K-12 learning but also to the families of infants through kindergarten aged children in the form or our Children's Villages. The Children’s Village program has received recognition as a FINE award winner – First in the Nation in Education – and is a state leader in providing innovative and quality learning programs for young children. The initial Children’s Village, which opened in 1998 in a former elementary school, was one of the first early childhood learning centers in Iowa to develop and implement benchmarks and standards for pre-K students. The program currently houses children ages 6 weeks to 5 years of age and attributes its success in preparing children to enter kindergarten to research-based practices such as quality staff, a suitable environment, appropriate grouping practices, consistent schedules and parent involvement.
While there are several Children's Village sites throughout the Quad Cities only three offer the 2 hour per day curriculum based preschool experience funded by the state grant:
