• Program Structure: Clear descriptions of daily schedules, developmentally appropriate instruction for 3- and 4-year-olds, and kindergarten integration activities designed to support smooth transitions.

• Curriculum & Instruction: Evidence-based curricula including My Teaching Strategies, Heggerty, Handwriting Without Tears, and Mathshelf, all aligned with the Alaska Early Learning Guidelines.

• Family Engagement: Opportunities for parent involvement throughout the school year, including transition support, mental health consultation, and access to curated educational and parenting resources (see Appendix A).

• Facilities and Staffing: Class sizes and staff ratios that reflect national best practices, with infrastructure in place or under development to ensure ADA compliance and outdoor access at all school sites by FY26.
