Our Programs

Early Childhood Special Education

The Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) program is for children ages 3-5 with developmental delays who have been evaluated and determined to require specialized instruction and/or related services. In this program, children work on individualized learning goals in addition to building Kindergarten-readiness skills, all while gaining independence and making friends.

Integrated Peers

Each of our blended learning classrooms is composed of both children receiving special education services and typically-developing peers who serve as friends and models of age-appropriate skills. Students serving as integrated peers build their own Kindergarten-readiness throughout the learning activities and social opportunities at no cost to families. The popularity of this program often results in a waitlist.

5-Day Pre-K

This program is available to children the year prior to Kindergarten age eligibility who meet state criteria and/or financial guidelines based on the National School Lunch Program, as capacity allows.

 

Parents as Teachers (PAT)

Parents as Teachers is a home-based early childhood program that provides education to parents/guardians from pregnancy through Kindergarten entry. Parent Educators provides family visits, developmental screenings, community events, and a variety of resources and information to support you in your parenting journey.

 

Puppy Pound

Puppy Pound is a reduced-cost childcare option for children of KSD employees from birth to Kindergarten entry. This program is available on a first-come, first-served basis and classrooms commonly have waitlists. Families who are enrolled prior to the start of the school year will receive their orientation at Open House. Employee families who are considering Puppy Pound are encouraged to schedule a tour at any point in the school year.
