The Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards (GELDS) form the foundation for Lee County Pre-K instruction. The GELDS are correlated to Georgia's Kindergarten Standards and to the Work Sampling assessment indicators, thus promoting a seamless educational program for early learning. (For more information see www.gelds.decal.ga.gov). Benchmark Ready to Advance Curriculum is used to enhance and supplement the GELDS.
