Honor children. Engage families. Inspire educators.

Our Mission

The Summit School District Preschool Program promotes high quality, developmentally appropriate, inclusive early learning experiences for all children. We value building relationships with families to foster the growth and development of the whole child.  And we seek partnerships with organizations in our community dedicated to supporting young children and their families.   

Our Values

• Children learn about their world through play and interactions with others.
• Children deserve a quality childhood so they become joyful, lifelong learners, active contributors to healthy communities, and productive members of society.
• Play is the mechanism for young children's learning. 
• Children are competent and capable learners who can make a valuable contribution to their own, and other's, learning experiences. 

Our Program

We are dedicated to fostering a child's creativity and curiosity and a life-long love of learning. Our curriculum focuses on active exploration and discovery as a means of supporting all areas of development: social-emotional, language, cognitive and physical. Building social and emotional skills is at the heart of everything we do. Our learning environments are designed to foster exploration and investigation, cultivate social learning opportunities,  and strengthen the sense community. Our teachers are highly qualified and dedicated early childhood educators.         

We provide special education and related services to preschool-aged children who have been identified with an educational disability. If eligible, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will describe which special education and related services are required for a young learner to be successful in preschool. These services may include:

• specialized instruction from an early childhood special education teacher
• specialized instruction from a speech language pathologist

• related services from an occupational therapist or physical therapist

The identification of an education disability begins with an appointment with the Child Find team. Children may be referred to Child Find for a developmental screening by a teacher, parent, doctor, or other agency. Information gathered during the developmental screening process will help us to determine if further assessment is needed to determine eligibility for preschool special education. If eligible, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will be developed with specific goals to address the child's specific needs. All special education services and related services are provided at no cost to the family.
