Welcome to Little Seeds Preschool
Under Section 4410 of the Education Law, Little Seeds Preschool is a New York State-approved special education preschool operated by Children’s Educational Services, Inc. Located in Chautauqua County, we provide a nurturing, curriculum-based environment for children ages 3 to 5, designed to support both typically developing children and those with special needs.
Our Approach to Learning
Our preschool program is designed to meet the diverse needs of all learners by offering both integrated classrooms and special class settings.
Integrated Classrooms
In our integrated classrooms, children with and without disabilities learn side by side in a supportive, inclusive environment led by special education teachers and therapists.
This model promotes peer learning, social development, and community, with the added benefit of small class sizes and low student-to-teacher ratios.
Special Education Classrooms
Our special education classrooms are designed for children with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) who benefit from a smaller, more structured learning environment.
With reduced group sizes and higher staff-to-student ratios, these classrooms provide individualized support tailored to each child’s developmental and educational needs.
Classroom placement is guided by each child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and determined in collaboration with families and the child’s school district — always with the goal of supporting learning in the least restrictive environment.
Certified Staff & Comprehensive Services
Each classroom at Little Seeds Preschool is led by New York State–certified educators in Early Childhood and/or Special Education. Our multidisciplinary team works together to create a safe, inclusive environment.
