The Fitchburg Integrated Preschool is an early childhood program for children living in Fitchburg. This state-regulated program combines children with identified special needs with peer partner models. These classrooms provide a safe environment that is designed to meet the needs of children with and without disabilities in the same setting.
In the classroom, children with disabilities may participate in small group sessions to develop speech, language, and gross motor or fine motor skills. Depending upon each student’s particular needs, these sessions may occur in the classroom, therapy room, or in a small group setting.
Classroom instruction is differentiated in all of our classrooms. This instruction is delivered at a variety of levels, based on each child’s needs, in order to ensure that all students have opportunities for enrichment. Our teachers capitalize on the peer partner models by providing opportunities for academic learning and discovery through social interactions. Peer partner programs enable all children involved to learn and discover at their own developmental rate. Children in our integrated classrooms learn to develop empathy and understanding for individual differences in others.
Every parent is their child's first teacher.
When families and schools have a strong partnership, the children and our
Fitchburg community succeeds!
