Early Learning

Early Learning supports children through programs such as Early Intervention (EI), Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE), and Preschool Promise. EI/ECSE provides specialized services to help eligible children from birth to five years of age with developmental delays or disabilities to get ready for kindergarten by helping them grow and learn.

The Early Intervention program provides services for children from newborn to 3 years of age. Visit the Early Intervention Page to see if your child qualifies and to see how to apply.

 

The Early Childhood Special Education program provides services from 3 years of age to kindergarten age. Visit the Early Childhood Special Education Page to see if your child qualifies and to see how to apply.

 

The Preschool Promise program is a state-funded program that provides income eligible families with free, high-quality preschool for their children in a variety of settings. Visit the Preschool Promise Page to see if your child qualifies and to see how to apply.
