PRESCHOOL

The Preschool Program is designed to meet each child's developmental age and individual exceptionalities with integrated class settings that provide daily opportunities for children with disabilities to interact with age-eligible, typical peers. Eligibility for children with disabilities is determined by the local school district. Placement is made by the local team's recommendations. Preschool students attend Fairhaven Monday through Friday.
