Young Five
- The School District of Lee County is promoting its Young Five program, a bridge year for children who turn 5 between May 1 and Sept. 1 and may benefit from an extra year before Kindergarten.
- The program follows a Kindergarten-based curriculum focused on math, literacy, and social and motor skills, taught by early-childhood certified educators.
- It is offered at James Stephens Elementary, and families enroll by contacting the school directly.
- Parents quoted by the district describe the program as helping children who arrived without English and giving kids a pressure-free, better-prepared start to Kindergarten.
