Alternatives
For Children in
Southampton
has a number of different programs to meet the needs of the children in
the local communities. We offer a day care program to meet the
childcare needs of typically developing children. We also offer an
integrated preschool program. In this model typical children as
well as some children with special needs are educated side-by-side using
a curriculum specifically developed to enhance all children's
development in cognition, communication, social and physical
development. For children with special needs who require a smaller
class setting, we offer 12:1:1 and 6:1:1 class ratios. In these
classes, the number of children is limited to 12 and 6 respectively with
a dual certified early childhood/special education teacher and a
classroom assistant or aide. Each program is specifically tailored
to offer a developmentally appropriate environment where children can
develop skills in all areas.
The program
runs from September to June with a six week summer session available.
There is an outdoor play area and a school nurse available for any
medical needs that might arise. Weekly classes are offered to all
students in music and dance-movement and each classroom is equipped with
a computer. A healthy snack is provided without cost to all
students. The curriculum follows best practices in early childhood
education and offers a child-centered environment where children are
encouraged to develop critical and creative thinking skills.
