    Full submissions are required for the child to be added to the consideration list for next school year.  This includes all 3 steps described above.

    Once a submission is received in full:

    Results of the developmental screenings will be emailed to families.  If concerns are revealed through the developmental screenings, the Early Childhood Office will contact the family to discuss the concerns and recommended next steps.

    If no concerns are revealed, families of children age-eligible for the 3 year old program will be notified by the end of July 2023, of whether or not their child has been invited to attend the Early Childhood Program next school year.

    Generally, for the 4 year old program, there are limited to no spots available. All 4 year old submissions will be placed on a waiting list, and families will be notified if a spot becomes available.

    *Current children attending the 3 year old program as a typically developing student do NOT need to complete any of the steps listed above, and will automatically be on the consideration list for enrollment for next school year.

    At any time during the school year or summer, if your child has identified delays, or if you suspect delays in their development (communication, motor, cognitive, social-emotional, and/or adaptive behavioral skills), please complete the developmental screenings online. 

    Contact Carissa Stevens with any thoughts or questions you may have.
