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.
The Southampton location is housed within Sacred Hearts Center , 168 Hill Street
