THANK YOU CRESTLINE FAMILIES

Thank you, Crestline families, for the generous support of our Brookville elementary collection efforts. This was our biggest collection to date! We filled a school bus and 6 SUVs full of gifts and food. This year, we added a food collection that provided multiple boxes of non-perishable food items to 9 families. We provided about 25 Christmas gifts (including clothes) for each of the 38 students in need— about 1,000 gifts! Thank you to the parents who helped and volunteered with the collection and delivery.

CRESTLINE PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAM

Crestline is currently accepting peer model applications for the 2025-2026 school year. The program offers an inclusive preschool class for 3 and 4 year old children. We strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment that promotes the physical, social, emotional, communication and cognitive development of both typically developing young children and those with special needs. 

The program was developed to provide opportunities for children with disabilities to receive instruction and services in a typical preschool classroom. Peer models should demonstrate appropriate social, behavioral, and communication skills.
