Belton School District offers one of the most innovative and highly regarded ECSE programs in the state of Missouri.  We are proud to provide a variety of classroom settings and a wide spectrum of services to meet each child’s unique needs. 

Our classrooms focus on children learning primarily through play and exploration of their environment while engaged in relationships with peers and responsive adults. We encourage students to develop curiosity, creativity, active problem solving, imagination, self-awareness, positive socialization, and respect for each other and our world.

Two of our teachers host a program offering a self-contained special education program to children three to five years of age.  Individualized Education Plans are developed for qualifying students at no cost to parents. Qualifying students exhibit significant developmental delays and may have specific medical / health diagnosis or concerns.  Students may be referred for special education by parents, parent educators, or teachers. Project Construct is implemented in these classrooms, which are typically staffed by one early childhood special education teacher, and additional paraprofessionals as appropriate.  The preschool classes meet four half-day sessions each week. Early Childhood Special Education students attend according to their Individual Education Plan (IEP), taking into consideration the goals, services, and minutes included in each child’s plan.

Transportation and other related services may be provided.  Fee-based wrap-around care may be available for $530 per month. For more information related to ECSE, please call or email Connie French.
