Early Childhood Services

Early Childhood Services

Early Intervention Services serve children prior to grade one. Children with special needs may be served up to three years prior to grade one entrance age. ECS children with severe disabilities may qualify for support through Program Unit Funding (PUF) from Alberta Education for a maximum of 3 years. ECS programs may include programs and related services such as Preschool Intervention Program (PIP), Kindergarten Programs and other Board authorized preschool programs.

ECS teachers of children with special needs consult with and inform parents of all program placement decisions and of all program planning, implementation and evaluation activities directly involving the child.

The Division is not required to transport ECS children to programs; however, some provision for transportation may be offered for children in Kindergarten.
