Penny Lane Schools in collaboration with Good Shepherd Center and St. Xavier University launched a new
program January 16th, 2012, directed at servicing the growing special needs population in early childhood
education. Children ages 2 to 5 whose needs cannot be met in a mainstream classroom, will have an early
intervention classroom available. The classroom is for all children needing special care, with a strong focus on
structured teaching and children with autism. The goal of the classroom is to provide a structured environment that
will guide children in learning the necessary skills to move forward, in hopes of transitioning to a mainstream
classroom by elementary school. There will be a place for children with all special needs in this program, as the
classroom will be modified to fit each unique student. The program will be available Monday through Friday, 6am
to 6pm. More information is available at 708-425-4233 or visit www.PennyLaneSchools.com.
For years parents have struggled with finding a place for children with special needs, but at the pre-school level,
there really isn’t anything out there. The truth is: Child care centers with special needs classrooms do not exist at
all. On very rare occasions a child will be assigned a one-on-one aide, or a counselor will work with them once a
week, but honestly, these students are still not getting the personalized education they truly need and deserve.
Most children with special needs require a classroom with qualified special education teachers, certified aides,
personalized lesson plans, structured learning, and that is exactly what Penny Lane Schools is going to provide.
Since 1988, Penny Lane Schools has provided top quality child care. They have pursued excellence by
undergoing rigorous evaluation to attain NAEYC Accreditation statues and an Illinois Quality Rating score of 3
stars! Every child from birth to 5 have individualized portfolios online that parents can access on a daily basis to
view their child’s developmental progress and view pictures of their children learning. Penny Lane continually
seeks to service families needs, by adding care until Midnight, and now servicing families with special needs
children.
