Preschool Program

Wolcott Public Schools' preschool is an inclusive and interdisciplinary early childhood education program. It offers learning experiences that foster personal/social, creative, physical, and cognitive development through multi-sensory activities. It will provide a developmentally appropriate program for preschool students identified for special education and for children who are typically developing. It will facilitate competent and capable learners in a nurturing and supportive environment. Emphasis is placed on meeting academic benchmark standards while providing a least restrictive setting for all students. Families are encouraged to actively participate in the education of their young children. Program staff members and families work collaboratively to ensure that children are provided with optimal learning experiences. Each child's learning is encouraged through exploration of the educational environment with age-appropriate experiences. Modifications are made to accommodate every child.

 

The mission of the Wolcott School Readiness Council is to provide leadership to high-quality programs for children in the town of Wolcott, to empower all young children to be effective, enthusiastic, and socially competent learners, through ongoing professional development, consultation, and collaboration, and by linking resources to families, the school, and the community.
