The Early Learning Center

Are you interested in a fun and enriching hands-on, language-based preschool experience for your child?

The Apache Junction School District’s Special Needs Preschool Program offers a developmental approach to learning, which includes art, music, motor, pre-literacy, and readiness activities for 3- and 5-year-old children. Your child will have an opportunity to learn about the special qualities of all children while interacting directly with each other in an environment structured with their cognitive, social/emotional, and physical needs in mind.

The preschool staff includes certified preschool teachers and specialized professionals. Each classroom has a minimum of one or two trained instructional aides. The program is located on The Early Learning Center campus at 550 S. Ironwood Drive. Sessions meet four days per week for 2 ½ - 3 hours each. Program participation is on a tuition basis at the cost of $165.00 per month.

Enrollment is determined by a developmental screening, which will include evaluation of your child’s ability to follow teacher directions; ability to independently dress, feed, and toilet themselves; ability to appropriately interact with others; ability to move from one activity to another without difficulty; and ability to verbally express themselves in an age-appropriate manner.

Please call (480) 677-7570 for a screening appointment.
