Children with Special Needs. We understand and respect the differences and unique abilities in all children. The Little Learning Preschool is committed to providing any child with special care needs the accommodations recommended by a health-care professional or a qualified professional affiliated with the local school district.

Children with Special Needs. Parents must provide any reports and documentation of any conditions that may affect their child’s ability to participate in our programs. Children are expected to work in a social constructivist community and participate in group project work, as well as be able to consistently respond to redirection and instructions to stay with the group in an expansive, unstructured setting. Animals: As a forest immersion program, we spend all of our time outdoors, and do sometimes encounter animals such as amphibians, birds, reptiles, insects and small mammals in their natural habitats. There is increased risk of injury when exploring outdoor settings, including the risk of exposure to insects such as wasps, ticks, mosquitoes, black widow spiders, and snakes. Parents can decrease the risk of some injuries by ensuring that children are dressed appropriately for outdoor experiences. General Health Requirements COVID Health Policies

Children with Special Needs. Sometimes a child may have a need that requires special attention. The staff is prepared to do their best to help provide that service. A special need is anything that delays or blocks a child's growth and development. The earlier a special need is identified, the sooner the child and his/her family can be connected to the appropriate support services. Our staff is available to assist families in having their child evaluated to determine any special need and secure any assistance that may be needed. Speech, muscle coordination and socialization delays are often served in our centers. Some behavioral and learning delays may require outside support and assistance.
