Who Qualifies for Preschool Services? 

Students who are not yet 5 years old by August 31st of the current school year, who have an IEP, and reside within the Chehalis School District boundaries are eligible for our developmental preschool program. 

  • How does my child get an IEP? If you suspect that your child has a disability in one or more areas, please contact our Child Find team at ChildFind@chehalisschools.org to request an evaluation. 

My Child Does Not Have a Disability, Can They Attend Preschool? 

Yes! Our preschool programs have community students who serve as peer models for students in the preschool program. Taught by experienced, certified early childhood special education teachers, our preschool programs are high quality, engaging, and fun environments that meet each student where they are.
