Early Childhood Program

Preschool Program: Our program provides services which are research-based and promote emotional, physical, mental, and social well-being in young children.  We serve students ages 3-5 years; including those with special needs and those considered “at-risk”. Each classroom has one teacher and one paraprofessional.

We offer two sessions daily, Monday – Friday.  Our calendar closely aligns with the school district; however, we have some variation due to screenings and special events. 

Class Times: 
9:30–Noon (AM)
1:15-3:45 (PM)

If you are interested in the program please feel free to call and set up an appointment for your child to be screened or for more information. Please call 618-451-5823, Option 2.
