The Tri-Lakes Special Services Cooperative serves children between the ages of 3-5 that meet the eligibility criteria under IDEA for a student with a disability. We provide special education and related services that focus on the goals laid out in their Individualized Education Plan (IEP). We work closely with families, educators, and other professionals to develop the IEP to provide a clear plan for each child’s learning and development. These plans help guide the services and support children need to grow and succeed.
Our services may include:
Specialized Instruction
Speech and Language Services
Occupational Therapy
Physical Therapy
Assistive Technology
Other related services and supports
Deaf Education Services
Our Mission
The mission of the Early Childhood Special Education Program is to provide high-quality services that support the individualized needs of our students. Families and staff work together to help out children reach their fullest potential and become life-long learners.
Our educational philosophy is based on meeting the developmental needs of the children we serve. We believe that each child learns and develops at his or her own rate. Our purpose is to assist each child in developing to his or her potential by implementing a curriculum that will nurture and promote developmental growth.
We value collaboration, inclusion, compassion, and high-quality instruction. By building strong partnerships with families and creating supportive learning environments, we strive to ensure that every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.
Our goal reaches beyond the early childhood years. We want to help children develop the confidence, skills, and love of learning that will support them throughout their educational journey and beyond.
