This program is designed for students ages 3-5 who qualify for special education services in a variety of developmental areas. State-certified early childhood special education teachers, classroom assistants, and speech and motor therapists provide a classroom program focusing on specific skills learned through play to provide support to the student’s individual needs.

Integrated Preschool

Early Learning provides an integrated program for students with special needs and community students in the same classroom. This integrated approach guides children through the typical stages of development while taking into account the specific needs of each child. As a quality early learning/special education program, we focus on developing kindergarten readiness skills while addressing the special education needs of children with identified delays. Together, children with all abilities benefit from participating in inclusive environments. Preschool students attend either an AM or PM session for 2 ½ hours.
