APS Child Development Center

APS Vision: Graduate every student with the choice to attend college without remediation.

Mission Statement: Ensure that all preschool students will transition into kindergarten with the experiences and skills necessary to reach high levels of learning throughout their academic career. The ECE department will provide support to the APS vista 2010 mission: “Teach every student the knowledge, skills and values necessary to enter college or a career and become a contributing member of society who flourishes in a diverse, dynamic world.” The opportunites for early learning provide a strong foundation that will help to ensure academic success.
