Atholton’s Regional Early Childhood Center

The Atholton Elementary Regional Early Childhood Center (RECC) preschool programs are now accepting applications for classes for the 2015-2016 school year.  These classes include children with and without disabilities.  The program’s focus is helping all children develop communication, literacy, math, problem solving, motor, and social skills.  Parents of children who will be 3 and 4 years of age for the 2015-2016 school year may obtain an application package in the front office beginning February 17, 2015. 

All applications must be returned by March 20, 2015. A very limited number of openings are available for children without disabilities.  Children are selected based upon screening information given on the application form and the “Ages and Stages Questionnaire,” as well as observations of the child’s participation in a playgroup.  The playgroup will be held on March 25th at 9:30.  If necessary, a lottery process will be conducted.  Parents will be notified of their child’s acceptance into the program by the end of March.
