PreK ESE: Ages 3-4 Children with Identified Disability (IEP)
We offer a PreK ESE Program, depending on the exceptionality and its impact on the preschooler's social and academic performance. If a parent is concerned about their 3-4-year-old child with a potential disability, they can make an appointment to be evaluated at Wingate Oaks Center. Once the child completes the evaluation, the IEP team will determine and recommend services to meet the IEP goals. To schedule the evaluation, parents can call 754-321-7200 or visit www.browardschools.com/ese to complete the Child Find referral online.
Early Head Start Hours (Only):
Arrival: 7:30- 7:55 am
