Exceptional Children’s Program
For Kids Only, in collaboration with the Brunswick County School System, offers excellent preschool services to children ages 3 to 5 years old. These curricula are taught by experienced NC licensed teachers in an all-inclusive setting.
We offer onsite special therapies which enhance the needs of each child with an individual plan that addresses their specific goals. The activities are individualized for each child all within the inclusive classroom setting. This also fosters friendships with their age appropriate peers. Our mission is for each child to reach his/her greatest potential within the fun filled classroom environment alongside their new friends and peers.
We invite you to tour our facility and see what a wonderful learning experience we can offer your child! Children are placed into this program through the Brunswick County Schools Exceptional Children’s Program and funded by the same. DSS funding may also available once a child has been accepted in to the program.
