The developmental preschool in the Nine Mile Falls School District is located at Lake Spokane Elementary. We offer an am or pm, two and one half hour program for children (ages 3-5) diagnosed with special needs or developmental delay in the areas of speech/language, motor, self-help, social or cognitive skills.

Our goal in our preschool program is to prepare students with the skills needed for kindergarten. These skills may include colors, shapes, name recognition, pre-counting, classroom routine, and following directions.
To accomplish this songs, books, crafts, individual therapy, exercise group, play and conversations are used to meet individual student needs. A variety of teaching styles are used by the teacher and instructional assistant(s) to reach each child’s learning style.

If needed, speech therapy, occupational therapy and/or physical therapy are provided either in small group or individual sessions.
