“We believe in play-based learning, active engagement, and teaching
to the whole child. Learning is not static—it’s not just about language and
literacy. It has to involve the whole child’s development, including physical
and social–emotional skills. That’s why we provide these programs
to our teachers and families, because they have the same philosophy.”
Martha Strickland, State Director, 4K Program, South Carolina First Steps to School Readiness, Columbia, South Carolina
