The Rutland Windsor Preschool Program has been established by the Rutland Windsor Supervisory Union (RWSU) School Board, which oversees its policies and finances. The preschool has two classrooms; one at Ludlow Elementary School and one at Mount Holly Elementary School. These classes are taught by Vermont licensed Early Childhood Educators. The teachers are assisted by paraeducators who have extensive knowledge of early childhood development. |

Oversight of the preschool is provided by the RWSU Director of Support Services. | |
The Rutland Windsor Preschool’s mission is to provide a high quality early childhood program with universal access for all three and four year old children who reside in the towns of Ludlow, Mount Holly and Plymouth, and who have reached their third birthday by September 1. Our goal is to provide young children with the opportunity to explore their environment through a variety of play opportunities; to make this first school experience fun and exciting;; and to work with parents and the community to instill a lifelong love for learning in our children. Our preschool is based on the premise that children learn best through play; especially when that play is supported by highly qualified adults with knowledge of how young children develop and with an awareness of individual diversity.

Our goal is to provide a fully inclusive early childhood program for all children residing in our towns. |
