readiness activities and materials.&nbsp; Many families

color=blue face="">The Blue Springs
Parents as Teachers Program, which is available to the
entire early childhood population, is one of the school
district&rsquo;s most popular programs in which parents
voluntarily participate and acknowledge the importance
of early development.&nbsp; The program serves as a
resource to the Blue Springs early childhood community;
works in partnership with elementary schools to provide
a smooth transition from home to school, and serves as
the center for information, referral, and services
relating to the needs of the birth to five
population.&nbsp; The program continues to grow and has
received distinction from the Missouri Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education as an
&ldquo;Exemplary Program&rdquo; in the State of
Missouri.</FONT></FONT></FONT></p>
