Pre-K Summer Transition Program

Bright from the Start offers two types of Summer Transition Programs which operate during June and July. Both programs offer high-quality instruction with a focus on language, literacy and math and are designed to reduce the achievement gap.

A child’s family must meet the income eligibility requirement; 85% of the state median income to participate.

  • Rising Pre-K – for students who are age eligible for Georgia’s Pre-K in the fall (4 years of age by September 1st) and whose home language is Spanish
  • Rising Kindergarten – for students who are age eligible for Kindergarten (5 years of age by September 1st) in the fall

Bright from the Start does not require STP providers to offer extended day services; however, providers are required to work with families needing extended day services to ensure the needs of the family are met. Families may receive services through the Childcare and Parent Services (CAPS) program if they meet ALL eligibility requirements.

  • If a family is not already receiving CAPS, the Transition Coach should assist the family in completing the CAPS application using Georgia Gateway (https://gateway.ga.gov/). After the family completes the application, the Transition Coach must obtain the following information from the parent:
    • Date of application submission
    • Tracking number
    The Transition Coach must notify the CAPS program that the family has submitted an application by selecting “Contact Us” in the upper right-hand corner on the CAPS website (http://www.caps.decal.ga.gov), then select and complete the necessary fields. If the family is eligible, CAPS will create the appropriate child care certificates to subsidize before and after child care services.
  • If the family already has a CAPS case, the Transition Coach will instruct the family to submit a request to add the child transitioning off STP to their current CAPS case. The family must make the request by selecting “Contact Us” in the upper right-hand corner on the CAPS website (http://www.caps.decal.ga.gov), select and complete the necessary fields. A Family Support Consultant will contact the family to process the request.
