MECP Peer Preschool Program
The Preschool for All Application for the 2025-26 school year is now OPEN!
Preschool for All is currently accepting new applications for the 2025-2026 school year. Applications for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year, starting in September 2025, is open from April 2nd-30th, 2025.
MECP Peer Preschool Program is partnered with Preschool For All. There is no charge to attend MECP preschool.
This is an inclusive preschool for children ages 3-4 by September 1st, 2025 (for the ’25-26 school year). This application is only for our Peer models. Our classrooms are considered Early Childhood Special Education classrooms. Peers are neighborhood children who are not experiencing a disability. As such, a child who qualifies for special education services (those who have an IFSP) can only attend if their IFSP team (which includes the family) determines that the special education classroom is the least restrictive placement for the child to receive their special education services. If you have questions about your child’s placement, please reach out to your special education provider.
Breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack provided.
