Early Start is an at risk Prekindergarten program funded through the Illinois State Board of Education for children who have been determined through a screening process to be at risk for academic success due one or more characteristics that may adversely impact academic development. There are two adults who work together in the classroom to create the best possible learning environment for your child.

The Early Start office, located at the ELC, conducts the day-to-day operations of the at risk Prekindergarten program. Issues and questions regarding Early Start (bus, student transfers, and preschool screening inquiries) should be referred to this office (525-3163).
