A Specialized Education Approach
The
personalized attention and mentorship Little Lukes’ teachers provide to each
child is attributed to the 14:1 teacher, student ratio. Every inclusion
classroom setting at Little Lukes has one lead teacher, one certified Special education
teacher and two teacher assistants to spend ample time with individual
students. In addition, several speech therapists, occupational therapists, and
physical therapists are available in the classroom for therapy sessions.
Jenny
Gordon, Lead Teacher at Little Lukes Preschool and Childcare Center in Oswego,
N.Y. notices that, “Being at Little Lukes really puts these kids ahead of the
game. The inclusion program is helpful because it helps build self-confidence
while teaching the children social skills to prepare them before they get into
elementary.”
Staff
training is essential to the success of your child. Each teacher must complete
a minimum of 30 hours of training every two years in the areas of nutrition and
health, safety and security, child abuse and maltreatment identification and
prevention. This helps teachers focus on children’s overall strengths and areas
of improvement. Learn
more about our ongoing training for certified teachers.

Inclusion is
the most beneficial learning strategy for students with special needs—enabling the
eight children with developmental delays per classroom to get the same
experience as their peers in an integrated classroom.
“Everyone goes above and beyond to help my
child learn and have fun and grow. Even when she’s having a bad day they are so
amazing with her.” — Jessie, Little Lukes Parent.
