Special Education Preschool Early Education Program
Our Mission at PEEP
The goal of our Preschool Early Education Program (PEEP) program is to improve outcomes for preschool aged children with disabilities and their families by providing individualized educational services that are evidence based, developmentally appropriate, and linked to the standards provided by the California Preschool Learning Foundations. These services are provided within a variety of caring environments that promote each child’s social, emotional, physical, communication and cognitive development. We view each child as an individual with unique strengths and utilize these strengths in partnering with families to ensure that each child attains their full potential.
