The Reynoldsburg City Schools, Early Learning Preschool Program, a program of the Educational Services Center of Central Ohio, provides trans-disciplinary services to preschoolers (ages 3-5) with and without disabilities. The preschool program is located at Livingston High School.  

The program is designed to provide child-centered, enriched learning activities that are developmentally appropriate and aligned with the Ohio Department of Education Early Learning Content Standards. Classrooms are divided into interest centers such as books, art, dramatic play, block building, manipulatives, and sensory. Materials and activities at each interest center are individualized for the children. Busy and quiet activities alternate and time is set aside for the children to meet as a group with the teacher for planned activities.

Students participating in integrated preschool classrooms have no more than 16 students in a session. Each integrated classroom has at least one licensed/certified teacher and paraprofessional.

The preschool program is supported by a team of highly qualified and licensed/certified professionals, which may include a teacher, intervention specialist, paraprofessional, occupational therapist, speech and language pathologist, physical therapist, and adapted physical education teacher as deemed appropriate by an IEP team.

Inclusive/Integrated Classrooms serve up to 16 students, 8 children with disabilities and 8 typically- developing preschool peer models. Specialized classrooms are exclusively for students with disabilities who needs are best met in smaller or highly structured environments.  Eligibility for children with disabilities is determined by a district evaluation team following the eligibility criteria established by the Ohio Department of Education.
