Early Childhood Education

Clearview Elementary School offers a nurturing environment and specialized programs to help each child thrive.

Early Head Start Program

Clearview Elementary School offers a comprehensive Early Head Start program designed to give infants, toddlers (birth to 3 years old), and expectant mothers from qualifying families a strong foundation for their development. This federally funded program provides a nurturing environment that emphasizes a child's intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth. Beyond education, the program offers essential services such as health screenings, dental care, nutritional guidance, and support for parents. Strong parental involvement is a core principle, and the program empowers parents as their child's first teacher by offering resources to strengthen parenting skills. This program prepares young learners for success in school and life!

Preschool Autism Class

Clearview ES also has a full-day Preschool Autism Class (PAC), designed to address the specific needs of preschool-age children who have been identified as having Autism Spectrum Disorder or present characteristics on the autism spectrum, and who cannot benefit from the early childhood class based program. PAC services are designed with a reduced adult to student ratio and provide systematic instruction in a highly structured setting to maximize learning.
