The Reid Preschool is divided into two parts: an Early Preschool or Parent-and-Infant Program for parents and children of six-months to thirty-six months of age, and a Preschool Program for three- to five-years old. | ||

1. The Early Preschool Program or Enriching a Child’s Literacy Environment (ECLE) consists of eight major divisions: (1) large-muscle coordination activities, (2) small-muscle coordination activities, (3) sensory stimulation to increase the oral language of children, (4) phonemic awareness and reading readiness, (5) listening to poetry and good children’s literature, (6) number awareness, (7) concept development, and (8) music and rhythm. Parents learn to work with their children at home as they are taught at school.
