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.
