The "Georgia's Pre-K Program" provides Georgia's four-year-old students with high
quality preschool experiences in order to prepare them for kindergarten. Since
inception of the Georgia Lottery Corporation, more than $3 billion has been
appropriated to send more than 940,000 four-year-olds to Pre-K programs throughout
the state.
Each child is supported in his efforts to make decisions, think creatively and
solve problems at his own pace; providing the learning experiences needed to
establish a solid academic foundation.
