Early Intervention (Ages 3-5)

  • The Marin County Office of Education (MCOE) offers a variety of learning experiences for preschool-aged children who require special education services.  Children who are 3 to 5-years-old and not yet age-eligible to attend kindergarten, can receive instruction geared to their individual needs.  Special day classes, small group instruction, specialized services for young children on the autism spectrum, programs that build mobility skills and remedial speech and language instruction are among the many services available.  Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are developed for each student by a team that includes the child’s parents or caregivers, private school teacher if applicable, a representative from the childs school district of residence, and the MCOE teachers, specialists, and administrators who will be working with the child.
