Footsteps2Brilliance® Accelerates Kindergarten Readiness At Manassas City Public Schools

During the 2015-16 school year, Manassas City Public Schools (MCPS) launched an innovative, blended model of traditional classroom instruction and at-home parent guided learning to service more preschool children. Through a partnership with Footsteps2Brilliance®, MCPS provided all children and families with high quality learning whether or not there was physical capacity to bring them into the preschool classroom full-time. This study examined the PALSTM assessment Fall 2016 results for 453 participating students and concluded that 96% of students who used Footsteps2Brilliance® for 45+ minutes/week achieved 235% of the PALS Kindergarten benchmark*.
