System Programs
Pre-kindergarten Programming
EIPS offers pre-kindergarten programming through its Play and Learn at School (PALS) program. The program supports children between the ages of two years, eight months and four years, seven months—by September 1 annually—in reaching emotional, social, intellectual and physical developmental milestones.
To determine if your child would benefit from the PALS program, EIPS offers free, speech-language assessments. The assessment findings will help determine if the PALS pre-kindergarten program is an appropriate fit for your child for the coming school year.
PALS assessments and intake begin in January 2025.
