As with any preschool, St. Joseph Institute’s preschool and kindergarten program is filled with colorful crafts, exciting field trips and fascinating stories. Behind all this fun and typical
early learning, however, is a rich, language-based
program that
helps kids’
develop oral
and auditory skills, as well as their confidence and social skills.
Preschool and kindergarten students receive daily individual speech, language and auditory therapy from our speech language pathologists and professional teachers of the deaf. This therapy aims at helping them close the language gap between themselves and their hearing peers, some of whom attend preschool with them. Our professionals also work with parents and partner with educators from each child’s public school to develop Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs). They also conduct case conference meetings and determine services, both during students’ preschool years and when they are ready to transition to their local school of choice.
