Preschool
In an effort to provide appropriate services to preschool-aged children with disabilities, the Oakwood City Schools offers an integrated preschool program, which operates four days per week with 2 hour, 45-minute sessions. Both preschool-age children with disabilities and typically developing children are enrolled in the program. The purpose of this program is to provide children with disabilities intervention services designed to meet their specific needs and the opportunity to interact with typically developing children in a positive learning environment.
Oakwood Preschool is a recipient of the five-star Step Up to Quality Award. Step Up to Quality is a rigorous rating system by the state of Ohio designed to enhance the quality of early care and education programs. This award is a testament to Oakwood's dedication to providing exceptional educational experiences for children and families within the community.
