PRESCHOOLERS
LPL is here as your sidekick to assist you and your pre-reader with resources. Sometimes you need to tag-team it, and that’s when we’ll jump in to arm you with books your child will find entrancing or especially silly, or take over for a storytime session that shoulders a bit of your responsibility to provide enrichment experiences. You’re always welcome to join us for storytimes to meet other parents and children, ask for book suggestions from Lauren or Jenny, and build up literacy skills. Learn more here.
We brought Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to Douglas County! One free book a month to children up to age 5. This page has resources for parents and information for how to support our nonprofit cause. Learn more here.
SPECIAL EDUCATION
Special education is specially designed instruction that enables students to make continuous progress in school. Special education services are provided within each school and services are individualized to meet the needs of each child. Special education and related services are provided to eligible students with disabilities ages 3 to 21 and to students who qualify for gifted services in Kindergarten to Grade 12. Special education and related services (such as speech-language, occupational, and/or physical therapy) are determined through comprehensive assessment and input from parents.
