3yr-old Peer-Model Playgroup: Calling All Three-Year-Olds! Elkhorn’s Playgroup is looking for you!
WHO: This program is a playgroup consisting of five students with special needs and five typically developing students. It meets twice a week for two hours a day at Jackson Elementary School in Mrs. Kitzmiller’s classroom at Jackson Elementary.
WHAT: During this program, play-based learning will expose students to literacy, gross and fine motor, and language development activities. This model allows for enrichment for all children who participate in the program. Research shows that these blended classrooms provide benefits for all children who participate.
HOW: To be eligible to attend: Children should be age three by September 1, 2024, and toilet trained. Registration is limited to five students per session, and a lottery system will be utilized to determine placement. The lottery will be held in mid May 2024, and families will be notified if their child is selected to attend. Families of peer models will need to provide their own transportation to and from school.
WHEN: Playgroup Sections: Tues/Thurs 9:00-11:00 am Wed/Fri 9:00-11:00 am Tues/Wed/Thurs 1:00- 3:00 pm. Please contact Jill Kitzmiller at [email protected] if you would like further information.
