WHAT IS GA PRE-K?

Frequently Asked Questions about Pre-K

Registering for GA Pre-K

What is Georgia’s Pre-K Program?
Georgia’s Pre-K Program is a state lottery funded educational program for all age eligible four-year-old children in Georgia. The purpose of Georgia’s Pre-K Program is to prepare children for success in Kindergarten and later school years.

Pre-K programs usually operate on the regular school system calendar for the length of a typical school day. Programs may be offered at local public schools or through private providers of preschool services.

School Readiness – How does Georgia’s Pre-K Program prepare a child for success in
Kindergarten and later school years?
The first of the National Education Goals states “all children will start school ready to learn.” Keeping in mind the following contexts, Georgia formulated a definition of school readiness. We believe school readiness must be defined within the context of the nature of four year olds and how they learn. We believe it must be defined within the context of families and how they live. School readiness must be defined within the context of communities and the services they provide. And, it must be defined within the context of schools and their readiness for children.

A child’s readiness for school is when…

possible health barriers that block learning have been detected,

suspected physical or mental disabilities have been addressed,

enthusiasm, curiosity, and persistence toward learning is demonstrated,

feelings of both self and others are recognized,

social and interpersonal skills are emerging,

communication with others is effective,

early literacy skills are evident, and

a general knowledge about the world, things, places, events, and people has been acquired.

For more information on Georgia’s definition of school readiness, go to: School Readiness

Is this child eligible for Georgia’s Pre-K Program?
To participate, children must be four years of age on or before September 1 of the school year and must be a resident of Georgia. Five-year-old children who have not previously attended the Pre-K program and who have late birthdays or developmental delays that impact their readiness for school may also enroll at the request of their parents.

Proof that a child is age eligible and is a Georgia resident is required to register for Pre-K. Acceptable proof-of-age includes birth certificate, passport, hospital record of live birth, green card, pink card or Federal I-94 card. Acceptable proof-of-residency includes a lease, utility bill or letter from a shelter or employer.

All children enrolled in Georgia’s Pre-K Program must have hearing, vision, and dental examination certificates (DHR Form 3300) on file within 90 calendar days of program entry. Form 3300 must be signed by a private practitioner or representative of a local Department of Health.

Immunizations (DHR Form 3231) must be up-to-date or affidavits must be on file within 30 calendar days of program entry. Only health departments and physicians licensed in Georgia can obtain blank immunization certificates (Form 3231). Take your child’s personal immunization record to a health department or Georgia physician and they can complete the form and give any required vaccines.

Registering a child for Georgia’s Pre-K Program
Pre-registration is from the first of March to the first week of April. The children’s names are drawn lottery style.

For children that miss the drawing deadline, parents can come to the Butler Center and fill out a waitlist form to add their child’s name to the waitlist. The children are selected in the order they are received.

Once a child’s name has been reached on the waitlist, staff will contact the parent to schedule an appointment to complete the enrollment paperwork. Applying does not guarantee acceptance.

Family Handbook – Guidelines, Policies, Expectations and Responsibilities of the Pre-K Center and the Family
The Family Handbook contains important detailed information about program guidelines, attendance policies, meal charges, extended day services, and much more. The handbook also includes the commitments your Pre-K program makes to families, expectations for family involvement in Pre-K, and extension activities to reinforce the Pre-K Content Standards at home.

stories of students from Kazakhstan and Georgia – Blog

The Marangoni Fashion Institute has earned worldwide fame as a forge of talents. Students from all over the world seek education on the campuses of the university in Milan, Paris, London and Florence. Graduates are open to all the doors of the fashion industry. You will find confirmation in the success stories of students from Kazakhstan and Georgia. Malika, Ani and Alima shared their feedback on Istituto Marangoni and talked about career development after graduation.

1. Malika Kiyambekova

Malika lives and works in Almaty, the former capital of Kazakhstan. She completed a three-year fashion design course at Marangoni in Milan. In 2017, Malika received her Bachelor’s degree and returned to Almaty. For seven months, she worked as a fashion stylist and costume designer for MG-Productions. And from 2018 to the present day, he has been working on the national channel Khabar Tv. For about three years, a graduate of the Marangoni school has been performing the duties of a costume designer. She studies scripts for series and films, conducts research on historical periods, and designs and creates outfits for all characters. The girl also works on the non-profit project HelpStudent – an Internet platform that helps students from all over Kazakhstan and unites them with patrons.

Malika shared her experience of studying design in Italy.

Admission

From an early age I loved creativity, so I entered the drawing department at the Art College in Istanbul. Turkish acquaintances recommended me to continue my studies at Marangoni Milano with rave reviews. For enrollment, it was required to provide a strong portfolio, write an essay on the topic “Why Marangoni?” and provide an IELTS certificate above 5.5. I graduated from high school in 2017. Tuition at that time cost 19500 euros per year (in English) and 12,500 euros per year (in Italian). The maximum possible grant is 50%.

Atmosphere

Marangoni is a private institute with top teachers who have experience in Armani, Jil Sander, Prada. They cause delight, you want to strive for them. These are unique people who have been honing their skills over the years, they are constantly growing and developing.

The school relies on practice. The exams do not include theoretical questions, instead you are asked to complete mini-projects in each discipline. For example, prepare a marketing report on a future brand, send off a collection, write a 1,500-word essay on art history. At the same time, tasks have to be completed in a short time. Everything is aimed at preparing students for the realities of the fashion market as much as possible. Of the minuses of studying fashion design in Italy – an intense pace and high standards. Professors expect bright unusual works from students. There is practically no free time. The school has a working atmosphere, often tense. This contributes to the birth of truly beautiful projects, gives impetus to the development of talents.

The first thing I learned was to respect deadlines. For three years, the main motto was the phrase – “something good is better than nothing perfect.” Through my studies at Marangoni, I learned to work hard and work hard, to rely on myself, and at the same time to meet a high level of requirements.

Alumni

I often come across the stereotype that Marangoni students are always sleepy. I communicate with many alumni, we support each other, especially during the release of new collections. Keeping in touch is very easy thanks to a special application created by the institute. By the way, most alumni are actively getting in touch on LinkedIn.

2. Ani Datukishvili

Ani is an alumnus and brand ambassador of the Parisian campus of Istituto Marangoni. She completed her BA in Fashion Design in 2015, after which she completed several internships in France and Italy. Having gained enough experience, the girl returned to Tbilisi and began working with one of the leading brands in Georgia. In 2016, Ani’s own brand, ANI DATUKISHVILI, was born, working in the luxury segment. Today, the brand supplies clothes to all corners of the planet. We told a little more about the professional path of the graduate in social networks. What memories does Anya have of her time in Marangoni?

Admission

I completed a design preparatory program in London. But she wanted to get a higher education in Paris, the famous capital of fashion. I chose to study at the Marangoni school for its high reputation and a huge number of graduates who have built careers in top brands.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere of friendship reigns at the Marangoni Institute. I studied with students from all over the world. The teachers were always ready to help and supported during the study and after. They teach everything a fashion designer needs to know and be able to do. We learned how to create collections, sew, prepare lookbooks in computer programs, delve into the history and business of fashion. I learned how to work with clients and manage my own brand. This knowledge and practice helped me to establish a brand and promote it.

Alumni

The work of the school graduates is distinguished by a clear handwriting. They know how to cooperate with manufacturers, customers and employers. All graduates living in Georgia help each other grow professionally and cope with a big workload. The institute itself often holds meetings for former students. We communicate a lot, share information, provide support in finding a job, organize collaborations.

I am the Ambassador of the Istituto Marangoni. The university supports my brand financially, for example, it became a sponsor of two shows.

3. Alima Murzabekova

Alima from Kazakhstan graduated with honors from her Bachelor of Science in Fashion Design. She became a participant in the traditional graduation show of the Milanese Marangoni school, where she presented her own spring-summer 2010 collection. In 2011, upon returning to Kazakhstan, the girl received the title of “Best Debut” at Kazakhstan Fashion Week, which was held in Almaty. In the same year, the graduate founded her own brand ALIMA. She lives and works in Nur-Sultan. Brand items are sold not only in the capital, but also in Almaty, as well as in New York. Alima is actively working on the creation of collections, participates in fashion weeks and competitions, and organizes pop-up stores. The graduate associates all further professional plans with her native Kazakhstan.

Alima shared her impressions of studying at Marangoni Milano.

Admission

I chose the Milan campus of the Marangoni Institute for many reasons, one of which is that my sister worked in Italy. The enrollment was easy, it did not require much effort from me. The main difficulty is to finish the program without being among the excluded. I received a scholarship from the government of Kazakhstan, so it was important for me to show good results.

Studying at Marangoni is intense. From the very first lesson, you have been doing practical tasks. We learned a lot of things – design, the basics of cutting and sewing, art history, professional programs like Photoshop. Once every 2 weeks, everyone took exams, which was in addition to the main exams twice a year. I studied in Italian. We presented some projects to the commission. By the way, at the time of my studies I was the only student from Kazakhstan.

Atmosphere

Graduates

I would like to tell you a little about the Italian style. Local men always looked impeccable, including the concierge of my house in Milan. In general, something interesting is born in Italy. Everything around is saturated with creativity – books, fabric and accessories stores, streets, boutiques of fashion brands. It seems that in the country of the Renaissance it is impossible to think not creatively. Everything I saw there became the basis of my work. I still use the images I saw in my work.

As for communication with alumni, I don’t pay enough attention to it. Basically, everything is limited to friendship with the founders of the brands Camilla Tlebaldinova and Aigerim Aikenova.

The Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia announces a competition for preparatory courses for the subsequent passing of the unified national exams in 2006 for applicants from high mountainous regions, for relatives of those killed in the struggle for the territorial integrity of Georgia and for representatives of national minorities, living compactly in the regions of Georgia. This was reported to the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent by the Ministry of Education of Georgia.

According to the information, applicants whose ancestors were resettled under Soviet rule from Georgia, from the Samtskhe-Javakheti region, as well as citizens of other countries who are ethnic Georgians by origin, can also take part in the competition.

Applicants who complete preparatory courses will receive a monthly stipend of 50 GEL. The courses will be held in the building of the National Center for Examinations and Assessments.

The deadline for submitting an application for participation in the competition at the Ministry of Education expires on October 20th.

The Ministry of Education of Georgia also announces a competition for secondary schools to receive computer equipment and Internet connection. The purpose of the program, within which the competition is held, is the introduction of information and communication technologies in the educational process.

Schools in the cities of Tbilisi, Batumi, Kobuleti, Kutaisi, Zugdidi, Poti, Gori, Telavi and Ozurgeti can take part in the competition, which will last until October 30. Every second school will receive equipment in these cities.

Preference in the competition will be given to those schools that will present new curricula in various disciplines with maximum use of a personal computer.

According to the plan of the program of the Ministry of Education of Georgia, all schools in the country will be provided with computers within four years.
