Island Creek's Community Peers Program

Children who are ages 3-4 by September 30th may be eligible to attend preschool classes at an Island Creek Elementary as 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/Guardians are responsible for providing transportation and meals for their child. 

Our early childhood special education program uses a child-centered approach with predictable routines that include morning meeting, circle time, work time, small-group activities, music, art, and outdoor play. Each class is led by a certified early childhood special education teacher and a full-time instructional assistant.

Families interested in having their preschool student attend Island Creek as a community peer should fill out this form.
