Early Child Development & Learning: Birth-Five

NEW for 2023-24 School Year,
and continuing for 2024-25!

Early Childhood Peer Model Program

Southern Door is seeking a limited number of typically developing 3-year-olds to join our Early Childhood Special Education program as peer role models for the 2024-25 school year!  Our goal is that the addition of these peers will help to build language, social, and play skills within the classroom, while developing long lasting friendships.
A morning or afternoon session will be offered 4 days per week. There is no tuition for this program, however standard Elementary Materials Fees apply, and parents must provide daily transportation for their child
to and from school.

For more information about this opportunity, please see the slide show below
(or click here to download an interactive, hyperlinked PDF).

To apply, please complete the application below (also linked here) by Monday, April 1. 
Please Note: Because this program is still new, we are requiring at this time that all 2024-25 applicants
be the child or grandchild of a Southern Door County School District staff member.
We may open it up to the community if there are spots remaining. Thank you for understanding.

Southern Door County School District reserves the right to dismiss any Peer Model who is not able to act as a role model child within the program.
