Enrollment in the program is based upon meeting certain criteria. A developmental screening is required. Children three years of age attend two hours per week on Thursday morning or afternoon. Classes are in session Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Tuesday afternoons are reserved for parent contacts, staff training, curriculum planning and completing necessary paperwork required for the program.
Maximum enrollment is twenty children per class with an early childhood teacher, and full-time aide.
The children and their families also benefit from the expertise of a parent educator, speech therapist, school nurse, and secretary. Individualized plans are used as the basis for each child's educational program. The curriculum includes learning experiences that address development in various areas. Learning activities provide experiences that are relevant to the students' own lives. All activities are designed to enhance areas of potential need and build self-esteem through success in each child's areas of strength.
