Inclusive Preschool Program

 
 
Children Playing
 

The Union Township School District offers two full-day integrated programs with special education students attending alongside general education students. One program is for 3 year olds and the other is for 4 year olds.  A nap/quiet time for each preschool section will be instituted and will last approximately 60 minutes.

The teachers, who are certified in both elementary education and special education, along with one instructional aide, will teach the class. The ratio of adults to children in the room will be approximately 1:7.

The curriculum is aligned with the New Jersey State Standards for Preschool. Children are taught through hands-on learning, as well as visual and auditory approaches. Throughout the school year, children will be exposed to various strategies and techniques to establish a foundation for educational success. Students will acquire various skills, such as cognitive, fine motor, gross motor, social, and self-help skills.

Transportation will be provided for all students in the preschool program.
