Little Stingers Integrated Preschool Program is now enrolling for the 2022/2023 school year.
Little Stingers is a district-sponsored integrated preschool program designed for children aged 3-5 years who reside in Greenwich Township. This multi-age program consists of general education children along with children with special needs learning together in the same classroom. Children have the opportunity to grow and develop with peers of varying abilities in the areas of social skills, play skills, language skills, motor skills, and early academic skills. A certified teacher along with a paraprofessional provide instruction using the High Scope Curriculum. High Scope Curriculum is a research-based program in which children learn through direct, hands-on experiences during play-based activities. Assessment is utilized to determine what is and is not working; to identify gaps in children’s experiences; and to provide valid, reliable indicators of student growth and achievement. This curriculum is designed for both general education students and students with special needs in multi-age groups. Placement in multi-age groups encourages children of various ages and abilities to progress at their own rate rather than according to age or grade level expectations.
Four, 2 hour and 40 minute sessions will be offered daily Monday through Friday. Each session will consist of 18 students (10 general education children and 8 children with special needs).
