Spring Hill Preschool Program: Building Together the Foundations for our Future

The Spring Hill Elementary Preschool Program primarily serves children with developmental delays, however we also have spots for peers and At-Risk Students. The Early Childhood Staff is committed to supporting the families of young children within our community. Research shows that the experiences and learning that occur prior to entering kindergarten greatly impact children's success in elementary school. All children develop at different rates. Although, children who are developing slower or in a different way than their peers, may be at risk for future learning problems.

Screenings are held monthly for all children to determine appropriate placement. Click on the link below to find out when these are held. Please call Cheri McHenry, Special Services office assistant, at 592-7104 for further information.

At Risk Program: Some children who are 4 before August 31st and meet certain eligibility criteria may qualify for the At-Risk program. The purpose of this program is to provide a quality early learning environment for children who are 4 years old. Some of the eligibility criteria might include: Living in a single parent home, are limited in English proficiency, born to a teen parent, have parents who lack a high school diploma or GED, or were referred by SRS.

Peer Models: We also screen children to be peer models. These children exhibit role model behavior in social skills, leadership, and are developing typically for their age. Peer models do pay a monthly fee depending on the number of days they attend preschool.

Early Childhood Special Education: Children that may have development delays in one or many of the following area’s: Cognitive, Motor skills, Speech, Social skills, Language, and Behavior. These children also need to have a screening set up to determine eligibility.
