SPS Friday 5: Angela Haberman on why preschool is vital
SPS Early Learning Coordinator Angela Haberman works with a team of psychologists, pathologists, teachers, paraeducators and others to make sure brand new students get off on the right foot.
She walks through what parents can do at home to make sure their child's preschool experience is positive and gives some key reasons experts like herself believe preschool is vital for 3 and 4 year olds, especially those who may have special needs.
"The earlier that we can support with specific and individually designed interventions for kiddos with unique needs, the quicker they grow and develop and the more likely they are to not need such intensive interventions later on in life."
Welcome to the SPS Friday 5 - five questions posed in around five minutes to an expert on a given topic. Find all our audio stories at www.spokaneschools.org/listen.
