PREP - AM Program (8:40 - 11:00 am) Students are working on a preschool curriculum with adaptations designed by a special education teacher that reflects each students individual educational program.
CHiP - Chatham inclusion Program - PM Program (12:15 - 3:05pm) General Education Preschool Program based on the Creative Curriculum. There are two criteria for this program. Students, who are toilet trained, are chosen from a lottery in February. The Child Study Team also recommends special education students who would benefit from being included in this program.
