MOORESTOWN INTEGRATED PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
The Moorestown Township Public School District is offering two integrated preschool programs for a limited
number of three and four year old children for the 2015-2016 school year. Each class will consist of typically
developing children and children with developmental challenges, learning together in the same environment.
The goal of both programs is to provide an enriched preschool environment that meets the social, emotional, physical
and cognitive needs of all students. The program structure is similar to a typical preschool experience, as the teaching
of developmentally appropriate skill areas is embedded throughout the school day. The classroom will be staffed
with a properly credentialed teacher and a paraprofessional. Consistent with the standard preschool practice, your
child must be toilet trained. Although occasional accidents can be accommodated, on-going toileting issues are a
serious classroom concern.
South Valley Integrated Preschool Program
The integrated preschool is a half-day program that meets five days per week; morning classes are from 8:40 to
11:40 A.M. and afternoon classes are from 12:35 to 3:35 P.M. Transportation is not provided to or from South
Valley. Tuition for the program is $3,000 per year. Payments can be made in monthly installments. We anticipate
openings for up to 60 students for the 2015-2016 school year.
Baker Integrated Preschool Program
The integrated preschool is offered on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 12:30 to 3:10 P.M. in conjunction
with our full-day SMILE preschool program. On early-dismissal days, this program does not operate.
Transportation is not provided to or from Baker. Tuition for the program is $1,000 per year. Payments can be made
in monthly installments. We anticipate openings for approximately 8 to 10 students for the 2015-2016 school year.
