Developing a Child's Independent Skills

The center-based Little Learners Enrichment Program strives to help two and three-year-old children with vision loss achieve developmental milestones as well as assisting them in the transition from home to the classroom. Children in the Little Learners Enrichment Program work on a variety of independent skills with a highly trained VIPS teacher and assistant.  We want your child to have an opportunity to explore and play, all while learning in a fun yet structured preschool environment.  The teacher in the Little Learners Enrichment Program uses vision specific academic activities in a developmentally appropriate setting. No matter where your child is on the learning spectrum, VIPS will meet his/her needs.  The VIPS teacher will modify the classroom activities to allow for the emergence of, or the strengthening of, each skill. The teacher will also place a strong emphasis on literacy for your child, whether he/she will be large print readers or braille readers.  This is a wonderful opportunity to lay the foundation for future learning for your child who is blind or visually impaired.  We do allow a limited number of Community Peers in the Little Learners Enrichment Program.
