The Little Run Elementary Preschool Parent Group meets once a month to provide a supportive learning environment for families of preschoolers with special needs, community integration preschoolers, and preschool children participating in the Family and Early Childhood Education program (FECEP) and the Preschool Autism program (PAC). Each meeting focuses on a topic that families have indicated an interest in learning about, along with time to share and learn from each other. Community partner Old Country Buffet is supporting the program. Future plans include the addition of Sibshops, a program to support the typically developing elementary school-age siblings of preschoolers with disabilities.
