Stark County Integrated Preschool
Preparing Preschoolers for Kindergarten
The Stark County ESC preschool program is a developmentally comprehensive program for children 3-5 years of age who reside in one of the 11 local school districts in the consortium. Seventeen half-day classroom sessions (morning and afternoon) are offered five days a week throughout the school year. Children ages 3-5 are served in both regular education and special education classrooms.
The preschool program is based upon best teaching practices. The research-based curriculum has been aligned with the Ohio Department of Education’s Early Learning Content Standards. This literacy, language rich curriculum provides active learning experiences which concentrate on skills that are important for kindergarten. In addition to classroom services, the program provides adapted physical education, speech, occupational and physical therapies, as well as itinerant special education services. A new initiative is the development and implementation of the Stark Project for Educating Audition in Kids (SPEAK). This is an oral-auditory classroom for children who have hearing loss and use spoken language as their mode of communication.
It is our belief that every child can learn and succeed. We strive to build a strong foundation for future learning.
