The Highland Preschool program is a combination of integrated classrooms and general education classrooms. An Integrated Preschool Program is an inclusive program providing services to children who are three years old to school age. These classrooms are taught by a licensed preschool intervention specialist and supported by one or two educational assistants, maintaining at least a 2:16 ratio. General Education classrooms are taught by a general education teacher with support of an intervention specialist and one or two educational assistants. The preschool program is a rich learning environment for students with and without special needs. Our program encompasses four classrooms, each being half day programs. The students attend class Monday through Thursday.
Enrolling Students
Students must turn 3 before they are considered for enrollment in preschool. In order to begin the process of enrollment, please complete the Preschool Application and return. Students must reside within the Highland Local School district. Tuition for the 2024-25 school year is $185/month.
If enrollment fills up, we do work off a wait-list system. At times, due to family circumstances an opening may become available during the school year and families will be contacted from the waitlist to fill the opening.
Child Find
Child Find is the process of locating, evaluating, and identifying children with disabilities who may be in need of special education and related services. Highland Local Schools is committed to the location, identification and provision of a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), for all children between the ages of 3 and 21, having disabilities.
If you have concerns about a child’s ability or skills and suspect there may be a disability, please contact the school at (419) 768-3040.
