The program is designed to meet the individual needs of children who have been identified as having a delay in one or more areas of development. The classes are multicategorical, which means the children in the class have a variety of special needs. The Richardson Developmental Preschool program consists of three classes. Two half day classes are held for three and four year olds. A full day class is held for five year olds.
Many children have delays that can be helped or corrected if identified at an early age.
It is important that your child gets the best possible start in life. There are certain developmental milestones you can look for to help you decide if your child may be delayed in one or more areas of development. Check the items listed below to see how your child is doing. Professionals are available at the screening and through out the school year to answer questions and provide information about your child's development. Areas of development that will be screened are vision, hearing, readiness skills, motor development and behavior.
