“Students learn, and use their learning, differently. Being different is both a fact and a goal for most of us.” -Ferguson, D.L.

Green Lake Developmental Preschool Welcome to Green Lake Elementary Developmental Preschool program. We serve children ages 3-5 that face multiple challenges. Our preschool program is designed to offer a continuum of services to meet individual developmental needs. Onsite services include communication, fine and gross motor development, vision, adaptive/life skills, social skills, and/or cognitive development.

Preschool consists of afternoon sessions running Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 12:40-3:25. Parents may drop-off and pick-up their children or make arrangements with the teacher to receive district transportation services. Buses are equipped with wheelchair tie downs, lifts, or three-point harnesses system for toddlers under 35 pounds.

Our two ½ hours together are packed! During the week we are joined by our PT/OT, speech and vision therapist, as well as augmentative communication consultants. Our daily routine is tailored to meet individual needs and includes individual work time, and a half-hour snack during which we address oral motor skills. The afternoon ends with closing circle.

Like our students, our classroom is unique. Our program is designed for emerging learners who may be non-verbal and non-ambulatory. Sensory integration opportunities are embedded into our daily curriculum. Emphasis is placed on activities that involve touching, seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting. We work towards insuring active participation. Green Lake Elementary has a full-time nurse.
