The Dublin City School District offers an outstanding preschool program that serves children with disabilities and also provides an educational opportunity for typically developing children to serve as social and academic role models (peers) in the classroom.  We strive to ensure that all children in our program  are challenged to excel to the best of their ability.  It is our goal to help children arrive to kindergarten equipped with the necessary skills for success.

Early childhood spans the years of development from birth to kindergarten.  We know that children in this age group acquire knowledge in ways that are significantly different from the ways in which older children learn.  Young children learn best when they interact with people and manipulate objects.  They are motivated by their desire to make sense of the world around them.  How young children learn dictates how they should be taught.  For young children to fully understand and remember, information must be presented to them in the context of their own experiences and environment.  If their learning experiences are relevant, they are more likely to persist and be motivated to continue learning.  It is the staff's role to provide an environment and a variety of activities to facilitate this.  Young children develop a greater understanding of their world when given opportunities to observe and model behaviors and skills exhibited by children from various developmental levels.  All of our classrooms have typically developing peers to provide these opportunities.
