School Program

Pike County Early Childhood School Programs

.
The Pike County Board of DD, Early Childhood and Family Center strives to provide
​a caring, supportive, and student-centered program. Our small class size allows teachers
the opportunity to individualize instruction and make each student a priority. Intervention
Specialists provide specially designed instruction to meet the needs of every student
according to their Individual Education Plan (IEP). The current Curriculum implemented
at the Center is the Unique Learning System (ULS) which is aligned with Ohio
Extended Content Standards. It is an online, interactive curriculum designed for students
with special needs. Differentiation is achieved through leveled lessons to meet each student's current instructional level. Each classroom is equipped with Epson Projectors,
IPADS, PCs, and laptops.
​Teachers and staff participate in ongoing professional development to support continued overall improvements in our program.

Community Outings

We visit local parks, public playgrounds, walking trails, libraries, restaurants and other local businesses. It is always our goal to integrate our students into the community and give them the opportunity to explore recreational options.
Family Nights-Each school year our program organizes family events at the Center. Some include Sensory Night, Annual Christmas Concert, and others based on the need of the students.
