The Integrated Preschool Program
The Integrated Preschool community of staff, students and families works as a team. Through a multi-disciplinary center-based approach, children grow, learn and develop skills to achieve social and academic success. Our goal is to create a home and school partnership where parents and teachers work together to support children's learning.
 
What is the Integrated Preschool Program?
The Integrated Preschool Program follows a collaborative model, in which the special education teacher, classroom assistant, speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, and behavioral therapist work closely together as a team to foster and promote your child's developmental skills. The program is designed for children between the ages of 3-5 who exhibit developmental delays and require a specially designed program to better meet their educational needs. The preschool program is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
 
How do I refer my child for the preschool program?
A child is typically referred to the program through Early Intervention, a physician, and/or parent concerns. A child initially undergoes a screening process, which is set up through the special education chairperson at Center/Sylvester School. The screenings are scheduled on a monthly basis and are performed by members of the preschool team. Results of the screening may indicate further assessment is needed. If so, the child will be evaluated in the areas of concern.
