About the Griswold Early Education Program

Griswold Public Schools offers early learning opportunities for children ages 3, 4, and 5 who reside in Griswold or Jewett City in a fully integrated, NAEYC-accredited learning setting. Our classrooms are instructed by teachers with Master’s degree dual certifications in early childhood education and special education. 

Meet our Team

We are a language- and play-based preschool program that creates a learning environment to promote cognitive, language, social-emotional, and motor skill development. Special education students who are identified by the Planning and Placement Team (PPT) as having a disability are fully integrated into our classrooms.
