Director says early childhood program expanded to 12 classrooms, screened 213 students this year
Summary
Laurie Hubert reported the district's early childhood program now operates 12 classrooms (growing to 15 next year), has screened 213 students this year with 293 active enrolled, and will add three classrooms plus additional social work and speech services next year.
Laurie Hubert, director of the early childhood program, told the board the program has expanded rapidly and that the district is scaling supports to match need. "So we have screened over 213 students," she said, and added the program has 293 active students and 73 children served through Parents as Teachers, totaling an outreach of about 579 children.
Hubert said the district opened new rooms this year, added an instructional facilitator, two teachers and a social worker, and plans to open three more classrooms next year (Jay Shidler, Indian Hills and an additional room at Pauline Central). She described ongoing investments in curriculum fidelity, an expanded assessment tool, and added social-emotional supports including another social worker and a hired speech-language pathologist.
