Currently Canal Winchester is NOT accepting applications for peer models to begin at the start of the 2012/2013 school year. If class size allows, we will consider adding additional peer models later in the year. We ask that parents interested in having their child attend the peer model program sign their child up for one of our scheduled Child Checks, which is a developmental screening process. The next Child Check will occur September 21st. If you would like to schedule a time for your child to attend, please contact Stacey Hart at 614-920-2756.
Additional Child Checks will occur on Jan 25th and April 19th.

The mission of Canal Winchester Local School Districts to teach our students to become effective and responsible citizens and to achieve their maximum potential in order to prepare for the most seamless transition to kindergarten possible.
The Preschool Program is designed for children identified with delays in one or more developmental areas, who reside in Canal Winchester Local School District and who are between 3 - 5 years of age. Peer Models, typically developing children, are also included in each classroom, providing them an opportunity to interact with their peers who are receiving specialized instruction in a developmentally appropriate classroom. Peer Models must be 4 years of age, toilet trained and residents of the Canal Winchester School District
Each classroom has a certified/licensed preschool teacher and trained teacher assistant. Classrooms have a maximum of 16 students, eight of who have identified disabilities and eight who are typically developing peers.
All peers must be screened and accepted into the program.
Cost is $100.00 a month, September- May.
