Early Childhood Performance Profile PrThe Lafayette Parish School System is pleased to share the results of the Louisiana Department of Education Early Childhood Performance Profiles for all publicly funded Early Childhood Providers. Every school in the district that has a PreK classroom (21 sites) receives a Performance Profile, along with the NSECD, Head Start, Early Head Start and Type III Centers in the Lafayette Network.
Lafayette Parish had 12 sites that received the highest ranking of excellent. The schools are Broadmoor Elementary School, Carencro Heights Elementary School, Charles M. Burke Elementary School, Corporal Michael Middlebrook Elementary School, Ernest Gallet Elementary School, Evangeline Elementary School, J. Wallace James Arts & Technology Academy, Martial F. Billeaud, Sr. Elementary School, Myrtle Place Elementary School, S.J. Montgomery Elementary School, Woodvale Elementary School, and the Northside High School Family and Child Development Center.
Christine Duay, director of early childhood, attributes this growth to many factors. She states, “As a district, our goal has been to improve the quality of early childhood care and education. The success of this endeavor can be attributed to implementation of curriculum, job-embedded coaching, school administrators becoming CLASS reliable observers, and implementation of conscious discipline.” Conscious discipline is a social emotional curriculum that focuses on regulating one's emotions and behaviors.
