Pop-ups bring preschool to low-income communities [HechingerReport.com]

 

At 11 on a cool Friday morning in spring, Cindy Rivera opened the door to her preschool room and greeted 13 children by name as they rushed in, pulling a parent or grandparent by the hand behind them.

“Good morning, Siena,” said Rivera in a lilting voice. “Are you going to sign your name in all by yourself?”

As the children sat cross-legged on a large round rug decorated with illustrations of kids from around the world wearing traditional clothing, Rivera led them in their good morning song, sung to the tune of “Frère Jacques.” Then they were off to one of 13 learning and play centers around the room, including art, reading, science, musical instruments, blocks, math, and Play-Doh.
