Preschool Program

The Tewksbury Integrated Preschool Program is a half-day program for three- and four-year-old children in Tewksbury.  Each classroom enrolls up to eight three- and four-year olds from the community whose parents pay tuition. The program also enrolls students on Individual Education Programs whose special needs require support from a preschool program. Children participate in this program for five half-days each week. Programs are available at your child’s homeschool (Heath Brook or Dewing).  Based on student skill level and information from the special education team and IEPs there are additional supports in our Learning Centers.

See more detailed information in our parent handbook – click here.

Please contact the Heath Brook office if you have any questions.
