*If you are unsure of which center your nominee works from, please complete the Dunn Loring form and we will share the information with the correct work location.  If your child’s resource teacher is a class-based teacher who works at a local school or if your child’s teacher is a class-based on Preschool Autism Class (PAC) teacher, you can contact the awards liaison for the school, so they can send you the link to their school’s awards or complete the Dunn Loring form and we will forward that information to the right school. 

Thank you for helping us to recognize the hard work that FCPS teachers and staff are doing with and for your children every day! 

Community Peers

Children aged 3-4 by September 30th (birthday after 9/30/2025) may be eligible to attend preschool classes at an FCPS elementary school thanks to FCPS Community Peers.

The Community Peer program provides an opportunity for preschoolers with all abilities to work and play on a regular basis.  Selected community peers attend as peer models in an early childhood special education classroom to promote social, academic, and language development. 

Community Peers must be fully potty trained and not currently receiving FCPS special education services.  Parents are responsible for providing transportation and meals for their child while attending the school site.  Days and hours vary based on location, with half-day and full-day options for FCPS staff that may be available based on program availability at select schools. 

Please complete this form if you are interested in having your child attend as a community peer.
