Welcome to the Special Education Pre-K program at West Lake Elementary!
The preschool class at West Lake is a part day developmental delayed classroom with a morning and an afternoon session.
Our classroom is just one of the many programs available within Preschool Services here at Wake County Public Schools. Our class is Monday through Thursday and Friday is Family School Partnership Days (FSP Days).
We follow the Wake County year round track 4 calendar. The classroom is a language rich environment designed for children with special needs ages 3 -5. All students must be assigned to the classroom through an evaluation process at Wake County Preschool Services.
To apply for Title 1 Pre-k, please check the wcpss website for the application HERE.
Preschool Special Education Services are designed for children ages 3 to 5 with disabilities and in need of specially designed instruction. The goal of the program is to provide the support these children need at an early age, so by the time they enter kindergarten, they have the support, services and skills they need to be successful. Preschool Special Education Services are based on the Individualized Education Program (IEP) that is written for each child. Goals and objectives are written according to an educational model. Any related services that the child receives are designed to support the educational goals. Preschool children with disabilities are served in a variety of settings and natural environments which may include home, child care centers, private child care homes, Head Start, mental health operated programs, private preschool programs and public school classrooms.
Starting the referral process for Preschool Special Education Services: For children younger than 3, contact Project Enlightenment on the WCPSS website HERE for information. If you suspect your child has a disability and may need special education services, and your child is 3-5 years of age, you may request to start the referral process.
