16 Great Schools. 1 Strong Community.
Registering for Preschool
Brandywine School District Early Education Programs serve three and four-year-old students in developmentally-appropriate early childhood classrooms. Using the CKLA PreK Curriculum, Handwriting Without Tears Curriculum, and the Conscious Discipline Social Emotional Program , we provide opportunities for all students to develop their gross motor skills, fine motor skills, language skills, cognitive skills and social/emotional skills through hands-on and engaging activities.
BSD loves our littlest learners! We know that preschool builds a firm foundation for the beginning of a child's education. We use the developmentally appropriate materials of our curriculums and plan lessons with opportunities to engage in developmentally appropriate play, ask questions, explore, engage in drama, fine and gross motor activities and experience music and art.
Our classrooms integrate children with special needs with those not requiring special services, with all children benefiting from the many unique opportunities this offers. Families pay a reduced fee for their child to attend the program for typical learners. Families of typical learners provide their own transportation. The special needs program is funded through state agencies and transportation is provided.
