Program Overview

Welcome to the Pickerington Early Learning Center, where we prioritize inclusive education through our carefully crafted center-based classrooms and a wide range of comprehensive services. Our approach focuses on creating an environment where children with special needs and their typically developing peers can learn, grow, and thrive together.

Step into our center-based classrooms, where learning knows no bounds. With a maximum of eight children with special needs and an additional eight typically developing children per classroom, we've intentionally designed these spaces to encourage meaningful connections and holistic growth. Led by a team consisting of a specialized special education teacher and dedicated assistants, our classrooms foster collaborative learning and friendship building that extend far beyond academics.

We understand that every child's journey is unique. That's why we offer a comprehensive suite of related services designed to cater to various developmental needs. From speech-language pathology to enhance communication skills, to occupational therapy that nurtures fine motor abilities, and physical therapy for gross motor development – we've got it covered. Our services also extend to orientation and mobility, audiology, and even transportation assistance to ensure access to our enriching program.

We recognize that one size doesn't fit all when it comes to education. Our itinerant services offer flexibility by delivering personalized support either in the comfort of your home or at other preschool sites, including Head Start. This adaptability ensures that every child receives the education they need, tailored to their unique circumstances and preferences.

At Pickerington Early Learning Center, we're proud of our exceptional team of providers who go above and beyond to make a difference in every child's life. Our roster includes experienced special education teachers, skilled speech-language pathologists, talented occupational therapists, and dedicated physical therapists. Together, they create a nurturing environment where children can flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.
