Why is an Early Childhood program necessary?
Legal mandates (Federal and State) require school districts to provide appropriate educational programs for children with special needs beginning on the child’s third birthday. This legal mandate also requires the District to provide classrooms for children with special needs that include typical peers as part of the class, since typical peers serve as role models. Families of typical peers pay tuition to attend the program. Because of the variance of needs that must be addressed, the end result is that several different types of programs must be provided at the Early Childhood level.
