Preschool Services
The mission of Civitan Services’ Preschool program is to help children advance to
their full potential in all areas of development in preparation for entrance into
the public school system. Our program focuses on the academic and social education
of children with diverse backgrounds, delays and disabilities. Curriculums are uniquely
designed for each child. Based on the IFSP/IPP plan developed with the family upon
enrollment, need appropriate instruction, skill development and therapies are conducted
in the following areas:

Civitan Services’ preschool staff is an experienced, professional team with an average
service of seven years at Civitan Services. Our teachers and licensed therapists
possess some of the highest credentials in their field and are well equipped to
meet the daily educational, physical, psychological and emotional needs of the children
placed in their care.
Our staff is intimately familiar with each child and their specific needs, and continuously
exceeds expectations to ensure that those needs are being met. We develop partnerships
with families to establish and evaluate program planning and implementation and
encourage family participation in the growth and development of their child.
For children with special health care needs, Civitan’s Preschool has an on-call
registered nurse that establishes specific care plans, presents staff training and
conducts regular quality control assessments to ensure that medical plans are being
followed correctly.
As with all of Civitan Services’ programs, our Preschool program will be using the
latest software technology to monitor and assess the progress of each child. Our
Koine computer program will allow our preschool staff to document each child’s daily
activities, track progress relating to individual goals and objectives and analyze
effective learning methods.
Civitan Services’ Preschool program is a safe, clean and positive environment where
each child is loved and receives daily individual attention, understanding and encouragement.
