Manassas City is planning to offer a pilot prekindergarten program for 3-year-olds starting in fall. The program would begin with one class of 10 to 12 children in a half-day program at Round Elementary School, said Craig Gfeller, the Manassas City Pubic Schools' executive director of student achievement, at Tuesday night's School Board meeting . The program is aimed at children who have aged out of Early Head Start and other infant and toddler programs, which end at age 3. In an interview earlier this week, School Board member Sara Brescia, a member of the Academic Committee, said, 'It's kind of an acknowledged gap' in education.
