Welcome to U-46 Early Learners

The early learners program in U-46 is a partnership of family, school and community working collaboratively to provide comprehensive services to young children. Services are provided by highly-trained early childhood professionals. Curriculum and practices that are appropriate for the child's developmental level are used to meet the diverse needs of young children in a culturally sensitive environment.

Attending an early education program can help get young learners off to a good start in their more formal learning experiences.

It provides opportunities for:

improving self-help skills
increasing self-confidence
improving language development
enhancing motor development
encouraging appropriate social skills
beginning a life-long interest in learning

Certified Early Childhood teachers are supported in their work with the children by classroom assistants, therapists, social workers, nurses and others. In addition to the team working with students at school, the children's early learning experiences also need the active support of parents to be successful. It is important that parents are partners with the staff throughout their child's education.

U-46 offers the following learning opportunities for young children:

preschool
kindergarten
screening

These services are offered in Spanish and English.

We hope this site will provide answers to some of your questions and provide some ideas for activities for young children through the links section.
