Childhood is a gallery of firsts...firsts experiences, first friendships,

first challenges, first hopes, first dream, first surprises, and first success.

The Mercer County Educational Service Center Preschool Programs offer the following:

 

• Preschool Itinerant Services. These services are provided by preschool special education teachers in two different methods of service: 1) Services delivered in the home environment. 2) Services delivered to a child attending a public or private preschool.

• Center based Services. These services are classroom programs that provide group educational experiences to children led by preschool special education teachers.

• Related Services are available to children who qualify in one of the following areas: communication, hearing, vision, social-emotional/behavioral functioning, motor functioning, adaptive behavior, cognitive ability.

Quality Programming for Preschoolers Should:
 
• Encourage curiosity, initiative, persistence, and self confidence- all attitudes which lead to life-long learning.
• Help children develop thinking and problem- solving skills. Expand the knowledge of self, others, and the physical and social world.
• Enhance the development of the whole child, including his learning, communication, physical, and social skills.
• Enable children to see adults as respectful, nurturing, supportive, responsible, and helping resources.

If you are concerned about your child's progress, he/she may be screened at the Early Screenings held in the Spring in each school district in the county...
