The DDS- Alley Learning Center Preschool is an integrated classroom in which children of all abilities learn and grow together.
As in any other preschool environment, classrooms are arranged with learning centers that introduce children to pre-academic concepts of language, reading, writing, math, art, science, music and physical activity.
Teachers and therapists work as a team to help each child reach their fullest potential. An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is developed to determine specific developmental and educational goals. Parent support and involvement is encouraged through regular IEP meetings.
The center operates year-round and offers a morning and afternoon class, Monday through Thursday. Each class is two and a half hours long. Our flexible schedule permits children to come two or four days a week.
While there is no fee for children who receive early intervention services, typical children are asked to pay $10 for each session. There is also a one-time application fee of $25 for children to enroll.
