SPARC believes parents and families are a valuable part of our program. Family participation is encouraged as it helps us better understand how to individualize the support for your child.
Our Supported Preschool Program provides educational and therapeutic services to Mount Vernon School District’s preschool children with developmental delays. Services are generally provided through our partnership with Skagit Valley’s Community College’s Head Start program. This partnership provides an opportunity for children with unique learning styles to participate in a classroom environment amongst typical learners.
Our classroom experience consists of a daily routine of activities rich in the development of academic, communication, fine and gross motor, social, and adaptive skill-building. In addition, physical, occupational and speech/language therapy are provided in the classroom as needed. Children who are not able to participate in classroom settings receive individual therapy.
If your child is between 3 and 5 years old and you are interested in our preschool special education program through the Mount Vernon School District, you can go directly to the Special Services Office of the Mount Vernon School District. They will complete the initial paperwork and send us the referral. Their phone number is (360) 428-6141.
