Moms Talk Q&A: Should Groton Invest in All-Day Kindergarten And Prekindergarten?

One element of the proposed $133 million school construction plan in Groton is to create two early childhood centers for children in prekindergarten through first grade, and provide full-day kindergarten.

Early childhood centers would be created where West Side Middle School and S. B. Bulter Elementary are now.

In a letter to parents posted on the Groton Schools website, Superintendent Paul Kadri appealed for support for the public schools' construction program, saying the actual costs of all construction would be less - $33 million after state subsidies and savings running the schools.

"The students who are in school today did not cause this recession, but will face the same challenges when they graduate from high school as any student from any other period of time would face," he wrote. "It is my job as superintendent to create a path that gives them the same quality of education, but does so at an affordable cost during this difficult period of time."

This week in Moms Talk, we're asking residents what they think: Do you support this plan, and specifically, do you support the investment in early childhood education?
