Typically Developing Peer Models:
1. The child will be added to the roster, or wait list depending on availability. Preference is given to those students who are eldest.
2. If the child is placed on the roster, a start date and classroom teacher will be assigned.
3. If the child is placed on the wait list, the family will be called as soon as there is a spot available for the child.
Children with Possible Special Needs:
1. After the application form and Final Forms are filled out the Preschool Coordinator will get in contact with you to schedule a screening appointment. All screenings are held on the second Friday of each month.
2. After the screening is held, a Play Based Assessment may be scheduled to evaluate the child further to determine if Special Education services are needed.
3. Upon completion of the play-based assessment (PBA) a meeting to discuss evaluation results will be scheduled. If the child qualifies for services he/she will be put on an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and placed on the roster to begin services immediately.
