Board of Education Early Childhood Block Grant which states:
"Pre-Kindergarten At Risk... is an educational program for children
ages 3-5 that also provides parents of participating children with
educational and involvement opportunities. Pre-K At Risk programs

to be at risk of academic failure... The services may be either
classroom or homebased..."

Early Childhood-Special Education
Philosophy
|
| The Early
Childhood-Special Education program is a structured instructional
environment which meets the individual needs of children ages three to
six. These may lie in the areas of cognition, language,
gross/fine motor, and/or social interactions. Curricular
instruction is provided in large and small groups as guided by the
student's Individual Education Plan (IEP). Program personnel
working together with parents will provide for the development of the
whole child. The overall goal of the Early Childhood-Special
Education program is to assist children in the development of skills
necessary to enhance learning. |

family enhancement through the creative use of toys, special play
materials, and assistive technology. Staff can also provide
