Transportation is provided by the school district. Parent and family involvement is an integral component of Early Childhood Special Education. The center-based ECSE teachers offer a variety of parent involvement options. These options may include daily notes, home visits, parents volunteering in the classroom, parent-child playgroup, and family fun nights. The playgroup offers an opportunity for parents and children to work together in activities set up within the classroom.
Parents then separate from the children to participate in a group discussion led by a facilitator.
This group enables the parents to discuss issues related to parenting a child with special needs. The Family Fun nights are designed to give families a structured environment in which to interact with their child as well as the opportunity to develop friendship and support from other families who also have a child in the ECSE program.
