Carroll County Early Childhood This page is the hub for the state funded Early Childhood Programs for Carroll County. Carroll county offers a wide range of early childhood resources.

Follow us for updates on Early Step Preschool (serving 3-5 year olds in 3 locations across the county) and Right Steps (0-3 home visiting program). Throughout the county we have three different preschool locations for children ages 3-5 years old. We also have multiple parent educators from our Birth to Three (Parents as Teachers) program that will travel from town to town just to participate in activities and discussion with you and your growing family.

Reminders for our Early Step Preschool Families:

🟠Chadwick Milledgeville: Open House/Meet the teacher night is this THURSDAY 8/13 from 4-6 at the Chadwick School. The First day of school is FRIDAY 8/14 :)

🟢West Carroll: Open House/Meet the teacher night is this THURSDAY 8/13 from 4-6 at the WC Primary School. The First day of school is FRIDAY 8/14 :)

🔵Eastland: Open House/Meet the teacher night is Monday 8/17 from 4-6 at Eastland Elementary. The First day of school is WEDNESDAY 8/19 :)

EVERYONE:
If you still have paperwork to submit or fill out, please be prepared to do that at open house. We will have support staff there to help.

Also bus times that have been given are approximate. We ask for your patience on Friday as staff navigates the routes🚌

Open house is from 4-6 but you do not need to plan to stay for the duration of this time. It will be an informal opportunity for kids to tour the classroom and meet teachers for the first time. Our staff are so excited to see returning students and meet new ones! It is going to be an amazing year at Early Step!
