ECSE services support children from three years old to kindergarten who have significant developmental delays or identified disabilities. Our ECSE program is designed to address each child's unique special education needs, helping them achieve developmental milestones and preparing them for future success in school.

Tailored Services for Developmental Needs:

ECSE services are tailored to each child’s specific needs, focusing on:

Skill Development: Teaching essential skills in areas where developmental delays are present.
School Readiness: Preparing children for the transition to a school environment.
Daily Integration: Incorporating intervention strategies into the child’s everyday activities.

Collaborative and Inclusive Approach:

Our approach includes:

Community Integration: Services may be provided in community preschools, childcare facilities, or designated sites, integrating interventions into the child’s regular routine.
Family Connection: Connecting families with community resources, specialists, and therapists for comprehensive support.

Comprehensive Support Services:

The Individualized Education Program (IEP) team determines the appropriate services for each child, which may include:

Specially Designed Instruction: Customized teaching methods to address individual learning needs.
Occupational Therapy: Supporting fine motor skills and daily living activities.
Physical Therapy: Enhancing gross motor skills and mobility.
