Florence County Adult Education Child Development
Child development for Florence County Adult Education students is a collaboration of Adult Education and local Florence county school district Early Childhood Programs. Children are provided with professional care in a safe learning environment. Family participants engage in family learning activities and receive age-appropriate books for their children.
Who may participate?
Any Florence County Adult Education registered student who is currently attending classes in-person may bring their child, age 3 months to pre-school age to Poynor child care during the times of morning classes, 8:30am-noon. Parents who bring a child must bring shot-records and must also agree to participate in family literacy classes for 30 minutes of their morning class time.
How do I attend family literacy classes?
