Preschool

The Vinton County Local School District considers early childhood education an important foundation for success in school and in life!
 
We provide high quality preschool programing in a variety of settings. 

 

We have three early childhood education classrooms - one at each elementary building. Our ECE classrooms are grant funded serving four-year-old children from families at, or below, the 200% poverty level. Each family must provide proof of income when applying.  Grant funded spaces will be first priority. The district may accept three-year-old children or four-year-old children, from families with income higher than the grant guidelines.  Families with income at, or below, 100% poverty will attend free. Families with income between 100% or 200% of the poverty line may pay tuition on a sliding fee scale. Families above the 200% poverty line will pay full tuition. Families enrolling from out of district will pay full tuition. See links to the left to apply for child care assistance.
 

We have two preschool special eduction classrooms, one at South Elementary and one at Central Elementary. These classrooms provide specially designed instruction to three, four and five year old children. Both classrooms serve children with special needs as well as typically developing peers. 
 

Related services (speech, occupational, and physical therapies) and itinerant preschool services, are provided to 
children with special needs. Children may be served in community based programs such as head start, home day cares, or child care centers.
