1. Is SPP open to children who are on an IEP or who have a developmental concern?
-
Yes, any child who is otherwise eligible for SPP may apply. If your child has a qualifying IEP, please connect with your IEP team to discuss placement options. If you are not sure how to get ahold of your IEP team, please reach out to SPS at earlylearning@seattleschools.org. If your child is participating in developmental preschool, then you are welcome to apply to SPP locations that are not SPP+ locations.
