Y- Club @ Scioto Elementary

The Early Childhood Special Education Program is child-centered and devoted to meeting each child's unique needs. We strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which to foster each child's cognitive, social, emotional and motor development. We believe that children learn best through meaningful play. Learning is encouraged through selected play activities appropriate for each child's age and development level. Skills are integrated across activities. Teachers serve as facilitators to guide children in interactions with the various learning opportunities. Activities are primarily child-oriented and child-directed. Classrooms are divided into interest centers such as art, dramatic play, block building, manipulative, sensory and language. Materials and activities at each interest center are individualized for the children, Busy activities alternate with quiet time, and children also meet as a group with the teacher for planned activity. Self-help activities are also addressed. Through play and self-initiated learning, the children refine the motor, thinking and language skills necessary for success in school. Field trips, special programs and additional staff in the elementary building provide extra enrichment in music, art, computer literacy and physical education.
