HAWTHORNE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL PRESCHOOL


HAWTHORNE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL PRESCHOOL
The Preschool program provides center-based educational services for children ages 3 to 5 years-old using an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) approach. Evidence-based assessment and interventions are utilized to design individualized lesson plans for each student. Teachers and Licensed Behavior Analysts collect data to evaluate performance. Our ABA approach encompasses the analysis of verbal behavior from empirically-based research. Student’s strengths, deficits and preferences are frequently reevaluated. The Preschool program strives to provide a collaborative approach to education with teachers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists and Behavior Analysts working together to prepare students for the least restrictive environment.
​
The preschool operates year-round, Monday through Friday 8:30am-2:00pm. A six week summer program is available in July in August. The program is located on the Westchester campus in Hawthorne.

Monthly trainings are scheduled to help parents learn how to assist students in generalizing skills from school to home to community. Parents can schedule 1 on 1 virtual or in-person meeting with a Licensed Behavior Analyst.
