Miss Ruby’s is a “home and family based” literacy program which is a part of the nationwide Parent-Child Home program. Two and three-year-old children will spend two years in the program which brings together parent/caregiver , child and a home visitor two times a week during the school year.
The visitor’s bring developmentally appropriate books and toys for the children and mentor the parents. Parents are taught how to read, talk and play with their children to improve their vocabularies and get them ready for kindergarten.
80% of all students in the program graduate from high school which far exceeds the average in Georgetown County.
The program is named after the beloved teacher at Baskervill who motivated so many “at risk” kids during the time the school served the community.
Miss Ruby’s began in 2003 and is supported by the United Way and is part of the club’s Young Children Priority One Committee. For more information go to:
