Dear Parents,
Thank you for the opportunity to serve your child during the 2015-2016 school year! For over 40 years, United Services has provided the very best in Early Childhood Education and related services to the children of our community and it has been our honor to serve your family.
As you know, our partnerships with local school districts have been a very important part of our delivery system for 3, 4, and 5-year olds receiving special education services. In an effort to make the preschool-to-kindergarten experience more consistent , Fort Zumwalt, Orchard Farm, and St. Charles school districts will be fully implementing Early Childhood Special Education programs on their own campus sites over the next couple of years.
What does that mean for United Services’ families? No change for the upcoming 2016-17 school year! United Services will continue to operate all programs on the St. Peters campus as we have in the past.
When should United Services’ families prepare for change?
Families in Full Day, Preschool and Special Education should plan for alternative care and services at the end of the 2016-2017 school year. The last day of services is anticipated to be around May 22, 2017 (depending on snow days).
Is United Services going out of business? United Services is not going out of business, but will focus efforts in three areas: Uncommon Grace Pediatric Therapy, Family Support Services, and Early Intervention programs (classes designed for children under 3 years old diagnosed with special needs).
We are dedicated to all of the students entrusted to our care, and hope to make any transition as easy and comfortable for our students and their families. Watch for additional information in the fall of 2016.
Thank you for your continued support of United Services for Children.
Sincerely,
Denise Liebel
President/CEO
United Services for Children
