West Hartford Public Schools Preschool Program in West Hartford, CT

Preschool Description

The Early Learning Center is a comprehensive public pre-school program designed to meet the needs of West Hartford children with disabilities, between the ages of three and five years old. Students are referred to the ELC from several sources: parents, community based pre-schools, the State of Connecticut Birth to Three Program, teachers, public and private agencies and pediatricians. Students present with speech and language, developmental, social, behavioral and academic delays.
The ELC is an inclusive pre-school where students with disabilities are educated in a reverse mainstream setting with typically developing peers. Students receive instruction in kindergarten readiness skills in a standards based program with individualized instruction in the areas of need. To address these needs, the ELC provides speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, social skill education, behavioral consultation, psychological and counseling services and applied behavioral analysis. Students attend the program on a half day, full day and itinerant basis as determined by the level of individual need. The Early Learning Center staff is responsible for evaluative and consultative services to private community based pre-schools attended by West Hartford residents. The Early Learning Center special education pre-school programs are located at Aiken School and Whiting Lane School.
