Thank you for your interest in the Ellensburg School District Early Learning Center.
The Ellensburg School District Early Learning Center is an Inclusive Preschool Program.
Please see the below guidelines for the Inclusive Preschool Program:
Inclusive education is a system in which students with special needs can attend school with their typically developing peers. An inclusive preschool system integrates special education and related services into all aspects of its program. Teachers work together to provide for the needs of all students.
Inclusion is the practice of educating and caring for children with disabilities and other special needs in the same environment or setting as their typically developing peers.
