The Brown County PreKindergarten Program is currently accepting applications for fall enrollment. The program includes classrooms in local elementary schools serving children ages 3-5 who are not eligible for kindergarten. Children must be toilet trained and three years of age by August 1 in order to be considered for the program. Pre-Kindergarten The Program is funded in part through a grant from the Ohio Department of Education to serve students whose families meet the income guidelines for free and reduced tuition. Families whose income exceeds the guidelines pay tuition based on a sliding fee scale according to adjusted gross income and family size. Participating children are provided with enriching experiences that enhance creative, language, social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. The pre-kindergarten curriculum includes activities to meet the early learning content standards adopted by the Ohio Department of Education. Additional services for speech and language, hearing/vision, cognitive development, adaptive behavior, or
occupational/physical therapy are available for children with special needs. Clinics for playbased evaluations will be scheduled later this spring to determine children’s eligibility. The evaluations are conducted in the local pre-kindergarten classrooms by the special education coordinators, speech therapists, school psychologists, and pre-kindergarten teachers.
