Preschool Program

Concord School District offers preschool programming for children ages 3-5 at Beaver Meadow School and at Mill Brook School.

Under the leadership of Preschool Coordinator Susan Carignan, the preschool staff includes highly qualified preschool teachers; related professionals in occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech and language pathology, and school psychology; and educational assistants.

Our preschool programming includes programs for five school days, three school days, two school days, and a language play group. The programs include both typically developing students (fee-based) and students on individual education plans (IEPs).

  • If you are a parent of a typically developing student age 3-5 interested in enrolling in either the Beaver Meadow Preschool or the Mill Brook Preschool, contact Ms. Carignan to apply.

  • If you suspect your child age 3-5 may have an educational disability and may qualify for special education, contact Ms. Carignan to schedule a preschool screening for your child.
