Pre-Kindergarten Program

Pre-Kindergarten builds children's socialization, cognitive and speech language skills in a playful, language-rich environment. 

To qualify for Pre-Kindergarten, your child will need to have an assessment from a healthcare provider or a doctor, indicating that your child has a severe developmental delay. 

If you feel that your child may qualify for this program, but doesn't have a diagnosis, please call our office.

Program Delivery (subject to change)

• Half-day classes - five days per week (9:00-11:30 AM or 12:30 - 3:00 PM)
• 10-11 children per class
• Playful and engaging learning environment

Each class has a team of professionals including a Speech Language Pathologist, Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist who work with a teacher and classroom staff to help children get an excellent start to learning. 

Pre-Kindergarten builds children's strengths and skills in a playful, language-rich environment. See what families and school staff have to say about the program and find out whether it’s right for your child.
