Special Education

Preschool Collaborative Classes (PCC) at Early Education Center Sites

This program is designed for preschool children enrolled in Early Education Center programs and children with moderate to severe needs eligible for special education. The staff includes Early Education Center personnel, an early childhood special education teacher and special education assistant. Monday through Friday morning the staff serves the preschoolers enrolled in Early Education Center programs and 10 children eligible for special education. They are fully integrated into the morning program at the Center for 4.5 hours each day. The children with special needs may meet the regular Early Education Center eligibility requirements but it is not required.

The content of the program is based on the District adopted preschool curriculum and stresses the facilitation of goals and objectives through developmentally appropriate concrete experiences and play. The centers receive other special education support when it is required to help meet the particular needs of the enrolled children.
