Kyrene Preschool

Giving Every Child the Best Possible Start

Kyrene Preschool welcomes all children, including students with disabilities and their typically developing peers. Research shows that when children of all abilities learn together, everyone benefits. Children learn from each other, build friendships, and develop important social skills in a natural, supportive environment.

Flexible options to meet your child's individual needs.

Students have more options to learn and play alongside their peers of all abilities with a full range of support services across the district. All children receive the right level of support in the setting that works best for them. 

My son has developed so much since being in this class. He has learned to spell, his letters, colors, numbers, he can even read some things and so much more. His speech has improved greatly! He’s truly blossomed. The feeling of leaving your child somewhere for such a long period of time and not having to worry is a priceless feeling and we have that here. I drop him off and he’s returned to me even better than before.

Collaborative teaching teams support children of all abilities.

In Kyrene Preschool, children of all abilities learn side by side from a full team of educators who work in all classrooms throughout the day.

Development Considerations

If you have concerns about your child's development or if your child is currently receiving services, please complete a Parent Concerns Questionnaire. Once we have received and reviewed the completed questionnaire, you will be contacted about scheduling a screening appointment. The purpose of the screening is to obtain a snapshot of your child's current skill development and to determine if a full evaluation is needed.

If during the screening a potential/significant delay is found, you will be contacted to set up a comprehensive developmental evaluation appointment. After the evaluation is completed, a team (which includes the parents) will meet to determine whether your child is eligible to receive special education services. If your child is found eligible under the Arizona Department of Education guidelines, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) will be developed and the appropriate environment for putting the program into place will be determined.

If your child has a current IEP or has an outside evaluation, please forward a copy of all information to ChildFind@kyrene.org.

Please note: If you live outside of the Kyrene School District boundaries and your child is in need of special education services, you must apply for open enrollment.
