The Red Clay Early Years Program offers an inclusive and highly engaging preschool experience for children ages 3 and 4.

With convenient locations across Red Clay, our Red Clay Early Years Program classrooms encourage children to learn and grow through intentional play, use of language, and a focus on students’ cognitive, physical and social-emotional development.

Community peers are general education preschool students who learn alongside students with special education needs.
