The Waterford Upstart Program
We are excited to share with you a new unique program available to all 4-year old children in the Lisbon School District! The Waterford Upstart Program is a school-readiness program that teaches preschool-aged children basic skills they need in reading, math, and science so they will be ready for kindergarten.
Families who participate in the Waterford Upstart Kindergarten Readiness Program will receive:
- a Dell laptop computer (which your family will be able to keep upon program completion), as well as Internet service during your participation for qualifying families
- a personal coach to support your family throughout the program to ensure strong parental engagement
- Waterford.org’s personalized curriculum in reading, math, and science that is standards-aligned, developmentally appropriate, and also endorsed for special education.
The program is meant to be used a minimum of 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Children who will be in Kindergarten for the 2022-2023 school year are eligible for the program.
This program is FREE, however, all interested families need to sign-up to take advantage of this awesome program. Families can either register online at www.waterfordupstart.org/register or by phone at (888) 982-9898. Register ASAP to secure your spot!
Feel free to call the school at 701-683-4106 if you need assistance or have questions.
