Shelton Early Learning Program Accepting Peer Models
The district’s Early Learning Program will be taking peer models for the 2019-2020 school year. Peer models will attend the district’s preschool classrooms housed at Mt. View and Evergreen Elementary. Children must be three by Aug 31st of the current school year. Priority placement will be given to children who are 4 years old.
A peer model is a child without a disability who displays typical development and behavior in the classroom setting. A peer model enhances the education of special needs children by being a helper, a leader, and a friend. Peer models help special needs preschoolers reach their learning goals through play and social interaction. In return, peer models learn confidence, empathy, and school readiness skills. All children in the program participate in a variety of developmentally appropriate preschool activities and progress is regularly monitored.
Requirements:
- Peer models must be fully toilet trained,
- Your child must attend a developmental screening prior to being considered for placement as a peer model in the program,
- Transportation to and from school is the sole responsibility of the family, and
- Consistent attendance is important for all children.
For further information and to set up a developmental screening for a child or to inquire about peer model placement, please call Marisol Salazar at 360-462-2139.
