Early Learning Environment (ELE) Program

(2.5 Hours, 5 Days a Week)

Children with developmental delays who need more intensive specialized instruction learn in a separate classroom for most of the day. It is a highly structured, routines-based classroom that uses a multi-sensory approach to learning and gives children many opportunities to practice new skills.

REGISTRATION

Students may be placed in the program if they are being serviced under an IFSP or IEP, or they may register for the Let’s Grow program as a typically developing peer.
