Community members joined Monterey County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Deneen Guss and MCOE leaders on the Inside Education Monterey County tour. The tour offered participants a unique opportunity to explore Universal Pre-kindergarten (UPK) programs in action.

Today’s Block Play was a BLAST! Not Just for Fun! It’s especially good for developing the thinking processes that help children learn and reach their goals. Research shows that children’s block play is related to later math competence and particular interests in STEM careers.
