What are the benefits of regional preschool centers?
• Age appropriate expectations will be much easier with only preschoolers in the building. • Family style meals with appropriate nutrition for preschoolers sitting at preschool-sized tables and chairs will be available. • Students will be able to engage in two 30-minute sessions daily on appropriate playground equipment. • The teachers will have greater support for high quality implementation of the High/Scope curriculum and greater opportunities for team planning. • Enhanced resources like classroom materials and books will be available to create greater enrichment and learning opportunities for the children. • Teachers teach children and not disabilities. When all children are served together, they learn greater empathy and caring for others. • In inclusion settings, the staff serving the special needs children interact with all children in the classroom. More adult interaction opportunities lead to greater learning for all students.
