Omaha, Nebraska's, full-day kindergarten program was designed to allow students to become actively involved with their environment in a child-centered classroom. The program integrated new learning with past experiences, aided by carefully selected materials fostering interaction and problem solving. The district next designed a developmentally appropriate early education system through third grade. (MLH)
