LTCS

             The Little Town Children School offers an inclusion program that aims to provide learning opportunities and access to the general education curriculum for children with special needs under 5 years old. This service offers integration of students with special needs in the classroom and the curriculum along with their typically developing children. The school believes that every student has the capacity to grow, develop, and reach their potential through learning the essential skills that will help them in the later part of their life. The learning experience in the school will be partnered with learner-centered practices in which adaptations and individualized plans will be utilized based on the needs of the student. 

Students who will be part of this program will receive activities and experiences aligned to their needs and will focus on enhancing the following domains:

• Cognitive skills

• Socio-emotional skills

• Psychomotor Skills (Fine-Motor and Gross-Motor)

• Language and Communication

• Adaptive and Self-Help Skills

         

          To increase the student’s participation in meaningful ways, the school will also adapt and practice some of the approaches from the framework of Universal Design for Learning. The approach will consist of three ways of learning—engagement (Why of learning), representation (what of learning), action, and expression (how of learning) that will help the learners to be motivated, knowledgeable, and goal-directed. This approach will also improve and optimize the methods of teaching and learning process as it is scientifically based on how humans learn.
