Enrolling Your Child as a Peer Model- Early Childhood Education
February 22nd, 2008

Enrolling Your Child as a Peer Model

Federal law requires the public school systems to serve children with special needs from their third birthday through the age of twenty-one.  Williamson     County Schools believes that children with special needs as well as children with typical development are best encouraged to grow when included in the same general education classroom setting together.  For this reason, we seek peer models with typical development for our Early Childhood program.  This program focuses primarily on character development, including the development of social skills, language skills, and personal skills and experiences to enable children to facilitate positive interactions with all people.  The early childhood theme-based classroom setting encourages academic, social, language, fine motor, gross motor, and cognitive development through play in various centers. 

If you are interested in enrolling your child for school year ’08-’09:

We will accept applications beginning February 15th through March 15th, 2008.  Please understand that student selections are based on the number of children we have returning, number of boys vs. girls and 3 year olds vs. 4 year olds we need. As we often receive several more applications each year than we have slots for it is not unusual for a child’s name to be placed in a waiting pool in case any additional slots will open up. If you are interested in your child attending the EC program in the fall please complete the Early Childhood Application found on this website and either drop it off at the school office or mail it to the following address:

Attention: Jenny Crockett

Walnut Grove Elementary School

326 Stable Drive

Franklin, TN 37067

 

We will send notifications out in mid April to inform parents if their child has been placed in a classroom for the fall.
