About our Program
Our program will be located at the elementary school. A Blended Early Childhood program is a preschool class which services students ages three through five years old. Concepts and skills related to language arts, math, science, physical growth, health and social-emotional milestones are developed through instructional units. Children will acquire these skills through a balance of teacher-directed and child-initiated learning opportunities. Children are taught in small group, large group and individualized settings which promote independence, problem solving, cooperative learning and self-confidence.
HBR’s blended program will have up to 12 students, including 7 students who are typically developing and up to 5 students with special education needs. The program will run 5 days per week for 2.5 hours per day. The class is taught by a licensed early childhood teacher who is approved to teach children both with and without special needs. A program assistant also supports the students in the preschool classroom.
