Elevate PreK Needs Assessment for Professional Development

Elevate PreK is born out of the work of LAUNCH Flagstaff, with the vision of ensuring that all children receive equitable access to high quality early learning. Elevate PreK is a three-year community based pilot program designed to enhance Flagstaff's early childhood systems.

We would like to get input from early childhood professionals at all levels that have or have not worked with LAUNCH Flagstaff about what would be helpful in supporting the preschool through third-grade continuum of learning.
