Admissions

Admission to Monomoy's Integrated Preschool program occurs through different processes depending on a child’s needs. Please review the pathways below carefully.

Children With Suspected or Identified Disabilities

Children who may need special education services are considered for integrated preschool through the district’s Child Find process. A child may be referred if:

• You or a medical professional have concerns about your child’s development
• Your child currently or previously received Early Intervention services
• A developmental delay is suspected

If your child is found eligible for special education, placement decisions are made by an IEP Team based on individual needs.

Please see I Have a Concern About My Child's Development for more information. 

Community Peers (Children Without Disabilities)

A limited number of peer placements may be available in integrated preschool classrooms. This number is based on the number of students with disabilities, according to Massachusetts regulations.

Peer placement:

• Is based on space availability
• Is not guaranteed
• May vary from year to year

Families interested in a peer placement must participate in the district’s Peer Interest & Screening process during the spring prior to the school year.

Please see Peer Interest Form for more information.

Important Notes

• Integrated preschool admission is not an open enrollment program
• Submitting interest forms does not guarantee placement
• Program structure, classroom locations, and number of peer openings may change throughout the year depending on the enrollment.
