Children with Special Needs

WCNS seeks to meet the needs of all children who attend our school.  This includes those that need and/or receive supportive services outside of the school or during class time.  If you have a child with special needs we invite you to talk to our staff about their needs and how we may assist your family.

In meeting the needs of children with special needs we seek to be part of the professional team that is working with the child with special needs.  This includes meeting with parents and others as needed, receiving reports from those involved and making recommendations as to the best course of action.  Our goal is to ensure that children attending our school do not poses an undue risk to themselves or others and that they do not disrupt normal activities making it difficult for others to benefit from our programs.  This ensures that we are aware of the responsibility and commitment needed to support your child.  

Please be aware that we place special needs children within our regular classrooms and seek to accommodate their needs through our existing resources. Also, we do not fundamentally alter our programs. If the needs, of the child is greater than our ability to assist we will look to the parents to assist financially and discuss if necessary alternatives that may offer your child a better experience.  

At times, after careful consideration we may find that we are unable to assist.  We will either decline enrollment or ask that you withdraw your child from our program(s).
