WCESC/FRANKLIN CITY SCHOOLS PRESCHOOL PROGRAM

Franklin City Schools offers services to both special needs and typical children with curriculum and settings tailored to the science of early childhood education.

The Franklin City School preschool provides both center-based and itinerant (visiting) teaching for children ages 3-5 who are identified as children who would benefit from specific interventions to address delays or needs.  Teacher, aides and therapists work with children to achieve goals specified in their Individual Education Plan (IEP).  Typical children are also an important part of the preschool classrooms, serving as peer models and sharing in activities based on Ohio’s Early Learning Content Standards.

Special needs children enter the program through evaluations by the district’s special education department.  Typical children are accepted, as space permits, through enrollment application and the payment of a deposit.  Children are accepted throughout the school year as space is available.

All of our teaching staff are licensed by the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) and have at minimum a bachelor degree in Early Childhood, or Special Education, or both.  The preschool staff receives professional development designed to enhance each child’s educational experience.  The preschool staff is knowledgeable with current content standards, curriculum and licensing requirements.

Each class has sixteen children or less.  Every teacher is supported by at least one aide.  These classrooms are inspected and licensed according to standards set by the Ohio Department of Education.

We strive to provide:

  • A joyful environment for kids
  • Quality Staff
  • Staff that are continuously educated
  • Respect of Differences
  • Varied Learning Opportunities
  • Support for all stakeholders
  • Facilitated Transitions
  • Accommodations for all abilities
  • Nurturing for kids, families and communities
  • Promotion of learning through play

Preschool seats are filled on a first-come, first served basis, according to space.  Returning students will have preference over new students, but will have applications approved in the same manner as other students.  Once classes are filled a waiting list will be maintained for open seats during the school year.
