Are there Early Childhood classes for children without special needs?
Yes, State funding provides classrooms for children who are at-risk for various reasons. These are children whose families cannot afford private preschool. They may not speak English or they may have other family stressors that would impede them from academic progress. These programs give the students a head start on their academics and provide incredible benefits as they move onto kindergarten. The State pays for most of these programs, with the District providing some support. There are classrooms that are a combination of children with special needs, who require a general education class, and typical peers, who pay tuition.
