Four preschool programs in Danville will benefit from a $4.06 million grant, aimed at boosting 4- and 5-year-olds' literacy skills and their readiness for kindergarten.
The U.S. Department of Education has awarded an Early Reading First grant to the University of Illinois. Over the next three years, the university will run the program at the Danville School District, Danville Area Community College's Child Development Center, the Center for Children's Service's Early Learning Center and the East Central Community Action Agency's Head Start program.
