Early Years Program

The Red Clay Early Years Program (EYP) offers an inclusive and highly engaging preschool experience for children ages 3 and 4. The Early Years Program is committed to meeting the needs of preschool-aged children with and without disabilities.  Children with identified disabilities/IEPs receive free special education services (FAPE) through our program. 

With convenient locations across Red Clay, our 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.
