Program
Description |
The Jolin Infant Development Program is a Reverse Inclusion program designed to integrate children with special needs and neuro-typical children in the same classroom for the entirety of the school day.
The Jolin Infant Development Program’s goal is to educate and remediate developmental delays within a transdisciplinary approach towards attainment of typical developmental levels. Typically-developing children are included in this program to provide language, speech, and social modeling. Typical children also thrive in this environment as they are able to move through the early childhood curriculum at an accelerated rate due to the ratio of one educator per every three children.
This program serves students from the age of six weeks to three years. At three years of age children may enter our preschool age program which is an extension of the Infant program and also is fully included. The classrooms are staffed with appropriately certificated or credentialed teachers including special education teachers, early childhood specialists, and teaching assistants with early childhood units.
A specific program is also maintained for children under the age of three years who have been identified as having specific delays in the acquisition of speech and language skills. These children attend a minimum of two days per week and again these classes are taught by certified or credentialed teachers. Typically developing children are included as peer models for speech and language. Children with cognitive, language, learning, behavioral, social, fine/gross motor, and sensory modulation difficulties are eligible for enrollment as well as typically developing children in need of child care or more individualized attention and therapeutic programming.
