The Early Childhood Services Program is a comprehensive preschool program that provides children ages 3-5 and their families a wide range of services. All families who are enrolled in our program receive services in the areas of education, health, nutrition, disabilities and family services. We believe that the parent is the primary educator of their child and therefore, parent involvement is of the utmost importance. In combination with parent input and our school readiness goals, the Early Childhood Services Program is dedicated to preparing its students for a lifetime of academic success.
