ever-changing

 

A variety of federal and state funded programs (Head Start, Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten, and School Readiness) are available to address the ever-changing needs of this community's youngest and most impressionable residents.

As members of the Professional Early Intervention team, we dedicate our efforts to:

  • recognizing and supporting parents as their child's first and most important educator
  • ;
  • developing a program that focuses on ensuring readiness for school;
  • supporting the empowerment and improved quality of life of each program participant.

Services are specifically designed to address the needs of young children from economically disadvantaged families, children with disabilities, and children and families who are experiencing hardships that may affect the child's development.

The shared goals of the Early Intervention Services Program are to enhance readiness for school, increase parent involvement, identify special needs prior to kindergarten enrollment, facilitate transition to kindergarten, and to promote family empowerment.
