Sending toddlers to school
Kennebec Journal, February 12, 2008
(excerpt) A proposal to offer preschool to a few 3-year-olds, an initial draft of next year's school budget, and a report on alternative education all go to the Augusta Board of Education Wednesday night.
Augusta schools, in a partnership with Child Development Services, could start a pilot program for 3-year-olds at Hussey Elementary School.
Superintendent Cornelia Brown said some of the students would be placed through Child Development Services, which assists youths with developmental disabilities, while some would be "typically developing" students.
The program, which Brown said she believed could be the first in the state, would likely only take eight children. Parents would be charged tuition. The pre-school would likely be a half-day program.
