VILLAGE PREP PROGRAM
Our VILLAGE PREP Program is a collaboration with our local preschools and families with preschoolers.
We would love to partner with you to provide the valuable service of a developmental screening. This tool can be used to illuminate any challenges a preschooler might have and determine if any additional resources may be recommended. It can also help you to decide if your preschooler is ready for Kindergarten.
We can work with preschools to do whole classroom screenings and observations.
We can also work with a parent who may be expressing a concern.
VILLAGE PREP Program Goals:
1. Collaborate with local preschools and families of preschoolers
2. Explore concerns that parents or teachers may have about a child’s early development.
3. Identify children who may have challenges ahead of them with regards to meeting the developmental and educational milestones.
4. Provide early intervention when challenges have been identified.
Do you or your child’s teacher or daycare provider have concerns in any of the following areas?
speech and language development
fine and gross motor skills
social and emotional development
behavior
eating or self care skills
cognitive functioning
sensory processing
If so, we invite you to participate in our VILLAGE PREP program.
