Pre-Kindergarten Programming

The Shelton Pre-K program is a 5 day per week, half-day special education program, designed to provide special education services to students ages 3 and 4 who live in Shelton and are identified as having a disability.  

We open up limited spots in each of the 3's and 4's classrooms for typical peers to participate, at no cost, except parents must provide transportation.  

Each year we take applications in the Spring, and then hold a screening process for typical peer candidates. We will accept applications throughout the school year.  We use the CT Early Learning Development Standards to identify those candidates who might serve as strong language, behavioral, and social skill models for disabled peers in the class.

Our preschool is a language-based program, and we follow the CT Early Learning Development Standards in our instruction.  Click here for more information about these standards: CT Early Learning Development Standards
