Getting Ready for Primary Years

The Monarch Preschool Program provides a results oriented, individualized program for children 3 to 6 years of age with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). Monarch Preschool offers a carefully created, secure and comfortable environment for half-day (morning or afternoon) and full-day preschool classes.

Creating a Positive Cycle of Learning

Halloween 2009 As with all Monarch services, our Preschool program is built on the principle that every day is a successful one for the children. The Monarch Preschool Program is designed to prepare children for their primary school years. Our teaching team delivers an early childhood education, in a natural environment, with a curriculum that is rich in social and play skill development, language-based communication, executive functioning, pre-academic skills, activities of daily living, IEP goals and objectives, fine and gross motor and imitation skills, sensory intervention, and behavioral support.

One-on-One Attention

Each child receives one-on-one instruction and intensive therapeutic intervention from a team of specialists including intervention specialists, associate teachers, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, a music therapist, and an art teacher.

Working in collaboration, your child’s team of specialists will continually assess progress and modify treatments according to how well your child grows and responds. The Monarch Preschool curriculum is an intensive program that focuses on the individual needs of the child.

Partnering with Families

Monarch Preschool families receive daily communication notes, attend bi-monthly staffings with their children’s teachers and therapists, and may opt to receive quarterly home visits.
