What options do you have for choosing the days and times for my child to attend?

Do you accept children with special needs?

Yes! Because of the background of Dr. Rebecca and her work work with children with special needs, we encourage children with disabilities to enroll in our program. We strongly agree with the research that supports that the best, most effective intervention happens within a naturalistic environment with typically developing peers who are able to model appropriate skills for children with special needs. Children need to learn both pre-academics, social skills, and school readiness behaviors in a natural school setting in order to better generalize those skills to other similar settings. Blueprints is unique from other general preschool programs in that it has specialists available to help in programming for children with special needs.

If you have a child with special needs please contact Dr. Rebecca for more information as to how Blueprints can help facilitate the education of your child today!
