The Atholton Elementary Regional Early Childhood Center (RECC) preschool and pre-kindergarten programs are now accepting applications for classes for the 2016-2017 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 2016-2017 school year may come to the  school office for an application packet beginning February 22, 2016.

A limited number of openings are available in the preschool program 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.  If necessary, a lottery process is conducted.   All applications must be returned by March 22, 2016.

The pre-kindergarten program is available to children who will be 4 years of age for the 2016-2017 school year and meet specific eligibility criteria (disadvantaged economic status, homelessness, foster care) based upon information provided on the application.

If you have any questions, please contact  the school office at 410-313-6853.
