ECDEC is an early childhood program that serves children between the ages of 3 and 5 years old who have been identified as being “at-risk” and who live within Palatine Township. If your child is NOT enrolled in our preschool program and you would like to have them screened, call to schedule an appointment at (847) 963-3450.
In the event your preschooler is undergoing an evaluation for special education eligibility, you will be guided through the process by the evaluation team. The following "tip sheets," provided by the IL Early Learning Project (illinoisearlylearning.org), are helpful to clarify what can be a confusing process.
