11. What assurances do we have that students with IEP’s and English Language Learners

will be welcome and integrated into any Pre-K program?
This expectation is outlined in the Commissioner’s Regulations:

(e) Integration of children with disabilities. The environment and learning activities of the prekindergarten program shall be designed to promote and increase inclusion and integration of preschool children with disabilities.

(f) The program shall be designed to ensure that participating children with limited English proficiency are provided equal access to the program and opportunities to achieve the same program goals and standards as other participating children.
