Learning Support and Enrichment Program (LSEP)

Preschool through kindergarten is a time when varied developmental growth is typical. Our Learning Support and Enrichment Program (LSEP) is committed to ensuring that all students achieve their fullest potential. LSEP serves as a referral-based, professional support system to assist teachers in meeting the learning needs of all students, whether it be through enrichment or through learning support services.

LSEP includes math and reading support and speech-language pathology. Services include assessment, consultation with teachers/parents, provision of helpful strategies, 1:1 sessions, and future social skills groups. (Some services are fee-based.)

Since the program’s launch in January 2019, we have seen incredible progress collectively among our students’ overall development and foundational skills, in the areas of reading, math, and social-emotional skills, due to the collaborative effort from our staff and the LSEP Team.
