At PACE (Preschool Assisting Children’s Education) for special needs students, we provide a developmental preschool that allows all students access to the highest level of rigor and academics to meet their individual needs. Our classrooms are small and full of inclusive practices and love. PACE provides quality exceptional education to preschool students through encouraging social, emotional, physical, speech/language, and cognitive growth in a fun, safe, and creative environment. Every developmental and speech classroom is focused on pre-k standards through play, table time, motor room, and circle.
