We believe that it essential for students to achieve optimal personal growth, acquire positive social skills and values, set appropriate career goals and realize full academic potential to become productive, contributing members of the world community.

Social Emotional Counseling

Preschool

The preschool counselors in collaboration with the Child Study Team (CST) work with students to identify their strengths, interests and needs. When indicated by parents and preschool teachers, they identify potential academic or behavioral difficulties and provide students with support to overcome these developmental problems in a way that promotes holistic wellness and academic success. The preschool counselors frequently monitor students in the classroom and play areas and may provide teachers and parents with feedback on how to optimally meet the preschool students' needs.
