Role

​

The role of the Early Childhood Program is to provide a developmentally-appropriate educational experience for all enrolled preschool students – regular education and special education. A well-structured academic program is designed and implemented to improve the readiness skills of students who will enter school the following school year. In addition to the academic program, another important component of the Early Childhood program is parental involvement to encourage parents/guardians to become actively involved in their child’s educational experience from the beginning. The parental involvement component is designed to assist parents/guardians in becoming more knowledgeable of childhood development and appropriate educational strategies that will contribute to each child’s success in the learning process.
