Our staff consists of 7 full time and 5 part time members. Our teachers are fully certified in both elementary education and the special education field of vision. Our teachers are child centered and love their teaching ministry. Each one of our teachers has a yearly plan for continuous professional development. The administration and teachers provide in-service training to the regular education staff at Saint Alice School, in order for them to understand the special needs of a child with a visual impairment.
Early intervention is meant to prevent or decrease developmental delays.
This is a part-time program in which the frequency, location, and content are determined according to the needs of the child and wishes of the parents. Our instructor will work with your child in your home environment or at St. Lucy Day School. Parents' questions and concerns are addressed and instructor's suggestions and guidance are offered. The purpose of this program is to develop social interaction through group instruction, to reinforce positive self-esteem as well as fostering learning readiness skills. Vision and motor stimulation are an integral part of this program.
