Prek Description
The SEPS Program was established in 1989 on the Superstition Mountain Elementary School Campus. Although students may receive special education services from the SEPS staff at other locations, the majority of services continue to be provided on the SMES campus. The SEPS Program is a Federally and State Mandated Program designed to provide special education services to children three years to non- kindergarten eligible five year olds. The program also provides early educational services to a limited number of typical students, who attend in a role model capacity.
The SEPS Program offers an individualized program for three to five year old children, emphasizing activities to promote communication, cognitive, social, sensory-motor, adaptive, pre-readiness, fine and gross motor skills through a multi-modality approach to learning. The program is philosophically based on established theories of early childhood education, and recognizes the individual needs of each child. It is dedicated to the development of self-confidence and self-esteem in the students, and is dedicated to the idea that learning is fun.
The SEPS Program currently has 10 sessions, five in the am, and five in the PM. Placement within the sessions is based upon developmental needs. Services for the students enrolled with special needs are free of charge, however the students must be evaluated and determined to be eligible under ADE State SPED Eligibility Guidelines. For the limited typical student slots, there is a lottery drawing and small tuition requirement.
