Welcome to PALs (Peer Assisted Learning)!
We are excited to welcome more families into our PALs (Peer Assisted Learning) program! Our PALs program offers typically developing preschoolers the opportunity to join a co-teach classroom where children of all abilities learn and grow together.
With caring, specialized staff and thoughtfully designed learning environments, children build friendships, practice empathy, and develop important social and communication skills in a supportive, inclusive classroom environment. PALs specially get the opportunity to participate as models in speech and language therapy sessions, in social facilitation, and get regular exposure to specialized strategies and professionals. Families love that PALs fosters belonging, collaboration, and early leadership skills—all while preparing children for success in school.
We are/offer:
- Located at LAUNCH Preschool (behind Arnold Elementary)
- AM (8:15-11:15) and PM (12:00-3:00) sessions; Monday-Friday
