Screenings for the Region 7 Shared Services Integrated Preschool Program (SSIPP) are coming up on March 19 and 20.
SSIPP is a special education program for children ages 3 to 5 from Norfolk, Colebrook, Barkhamsted and New Hartford who are assessed as needing additional social or educational help to prepare them for school. Remaining spaces are opened to families who want to enroll their kids as peer models.
Parents who are interested in having their child qualify to attend the preschool program as a role model must submit their child’s name for a screening. Screenings will be offered on March 19 and 20.
The cost for role model peers is $650 per month for the full-day program for four-year-olds, and $275 per month for the half-day program for three-year-olds. Three-year-olds will meet Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. The four-year-olds meet Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
