The District's Early Childhood Special Education programs located on the campus of Oak Elementary School provide early interventions to our children with identified special needs ages three through five.

The master level teachers in these classrooms seek to improve your child's developmental and educational growth by making students more independent. Through the utilization of the Create Curriculum, which is aligned to the Illinois Learning Standards and outlines specific learning targets, children learn the concepts and skills related to language arts, math, science, physical growth, health and social/emotional milestones

Children learn the concepts and skills related to language arts, math, science, physical growth, health and social/emotional milestones."

In addition to the Creative Curriculum, and depending on the need of each child, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech and language services are available within the classroom on an individual or integrated basis.

Preschool screenings are offered for any child between the ages of three and five multiple times throughout the school year to identify children that may not be developing and expect rates and may be in need of special services. If at any time a parent is concerned at their child's rate of development or is suspecting that their child may need special services, they may contact Lisa Halverson.
