"The Core Knowledge Preschool Curriculum has made a tremendous impact on preschool education for the children in the Bentonville Public Schools Building Bridges Program. Children are entering kindergarten well prepared, and our staff receive glowing reports from the kindergarten teachers in our district. Our preschool teachers continue to grow professionally through the training and use of this developmentally appropriate curriculum."
