Welcome!

The Little PEPers program is one of the district's Early Intervention Special Education Preschool Programs. The Little PEP(Preschool Education Program)ers classes are one hour parent participation sessions that focus on speech, language, gross motor, fine motor, and pre-academic skills.

The Little PEPers assessment team consists of Education Specialists, Speech and Language Pathologists, and an Education Psychologist. Two teams work with preschools, pediatricians, and families in order to evaluate students strengths and areas of need. Screenings and assessments are done to determine if students qualify to receive services and which class would be most appropriate for a student’s individual needs.

Our goal is to provide high quality early intervention services so that all children will have success in the school setting.

We are excited to participate with you and your child in this parent involvement program. When all registration paperwork is complete, you will receive a phone call from one of our staff letting you know that you can start attending.

Little PEPer classes are designed to help parents and students experience success in the school setting. Activities in small group centers are planned to foster development of the whole child while also focusing on their specific, individualized goals.
