Early Childhood Education

Special Education for Ages 3-5

The Oregon School District provides an Early Childhood (EC) program that offers special education services to children age 3 to 5 based on Wisconsin's eligibility criteria. Services are free to families with children who qualify. EC students may attend our district’s 4-year-old Kindergarten program or be served at one of our community locations with additional support. 

If you are concerned about your child’s vision, hearing, moving, talking, play, learning, behaviors, or if he or she has a medical diagnosis that affects development, please contact Lindsay Engelhart at 608-835-4065 or leengelhart@OregonSD.org to schedule an evaluation.
