Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities (PPCD) services three and four year olds. Three-year olds attend the morning session and four-year olds attend the afternoon session. The three-year old program begins with free-play time when they first arrive. We then do a seasonal or letter-of-the-week coloring sheet. This is followed by circle time where we discuss such things as days of the week, the weather, and we also say our pledges and sing a patriotic song. Center time is next; we have a block center, a puzzle center, a library center, a dramatic play center, and a computer center. After center time, we work on an art project. Then it's time for snack and home. Our four-year olds follow the same basic program although instead of center time, we have lessons in language arts, math, science, and social studies.
