Welcome to the Sundwall Preschool Web page!

If you have a 3 to 5 year old child (or know of someone who does), and are interested in developmental testing, please contact me (Karen Clark) at the Sundwall Preschool at 259-3068. We will set up a testing time and (if indicated) invite one of the school district's speech specialists (Diana Adams or Carrie Fisher) to administer speech testing. Other areas possibly tested include motor (fine and gross), cognition, social/emotional development, and adaptive or self-help skill ability. All tests are standardized and determine eligibility for the program.

If your child is eligible for the district's program, he or she will receive a free appropriate public education, based on an individualized education program. Education programs are designed by a multidisciplinary team of specialists (of which you - the parent - are the most important team member). Other specialists typically include the early childhood special education teacher (Karen Clark), the Local Education Agent (Taryn Kay or a designee assigned by her), a speech specialist, occupational therapist, nurse or doctor (if appropriate), and anyone else you may like to have present at the meeting.

Our preschool program consists of developmentally appropriate practices and individualized teaching, delivered by myself and three qualified paraprofessionals (Trina Schriver, Jolene Williams and Dhyana Greene).

We have two preschool sessions per day. The morning session typically includes our youngest students and runs from 8:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. The afternoon session runs from 12:30 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. A daily snack and outside play are always included. Transportation is provided by our school district. School is in session Monday through Thursday and follows the same working schedule as Red Rock Elementary. I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Karen Clark
Early childhood special educator
