PVNS is committed to the success of all children in our program. Our program promotes respect for diversity and emphasizes shared responsibility to maximize the potential of each individual student. PVNS recognizes the right of each child to an appropriate quality preschool experience, which combines care and learning through play and education. We are sensitive to the special needs of children and their families and will ensure that individual needs are recognized and addressed within our capabilities.
Local school districts are responsible for providing services for preschool children with special needs. Each local school district has its own committee on Preschool Special Education. When the committee approves a child's placement at PVNS, we are committed to working with the parents, the child, and the child's service team to meet the child's individual special needs. If the committee recommends an alternate placement, we are unable to enroll a child in our program.
If the student's needs are identified during the school year, we will refer the family to their committee on Preschool Special Education for an evaluation. If the evaluation determines a need for services, we will work with the family to accommodate those services whenever possible.
While we make every effort to ensure each child's successful participation in our program, when all possibilities of meeting the child's or the family's needs have been exhausted, we reserve the right to refer the family back to their committee on Preschool Special Education for an alternate preschool placement.
I have read, understand and agree to Penfield Village Nursery School & Kindergarten's Special Needs Policy.
