Lessons include learning through play, school skill, discipline, nutrition and much more. The children participate in pre-literacy and school readiness activities in separate classrooms. Additional community resources are also available for the parents to support their family needs.Preschool for ALL - Preschool for ALL provides a high-quality learning environment for children ages 3-5 to learn the social and academic skills necessary to be successful students: how to listen well, share, participate, compromise, be respectful to others, and problem solve. Children who receive this high-quality preschool education also enter kindergarten with pre-reading skills, rich vocabularies, and strong basic math skills. The program also supports parental involvement.Summer Literacy Academy Jump into Reading! - Jump into Reading! is an intensive summer intervention program designed to improve reading skills for Transitional Kindergarten (TK)to 2nd grade students.

Once students have mastered these skills, they move on to vocabulary development and reading comprehension.Summer Reading & Writing Academy - The summer intervention program provides support for students exiting grades 1-3 who are below grade level proficiency in reading skills. SRWA was implemented as a response to the reality that many students slip further behind in their reading and writing skills during summer months if there is no intervention. SRWA provides professional development for teachers with the opportunity for teachers to practice the strategies in a real-time setting in the academy.Grade Level Proficiency Project - The Grade Level Proficiency Project is an innovative program that uses a combination of game-like computer software and classroom coaching for teachers to bring elementary students to grade level proficiency in match and literacy skills.The program provides individually paced learning addressing the individual needs of the students.The project also includes a professional development model that includes real time, in class teaching and coaching educators.This program is a direct response to the paradigm shift in education today, using technology to help guide teacher instruction and engage all students.

Explanation	Part V, Line 4: Further the charitable purposes of the Foundation.Sonoma Valley Education Foundation adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Sonoma Valley Education Foundation has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. Sonoma Valley Education Foundation believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on Sonoma Valley Education Foundations financial condition, results of operations or cashflows. Accordingly, Sonoma Valley Education Foundation has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2018. Sonoma Valley Education Foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.	ExplanationTxt
