At the Harold Lewis Center Preschool, each child will be provided with an educational program which directly relates to the child's abilities and area(s) of need, the child's family issues and concerns, and the child's chronological age. The staff at the Harold Lewis Center believes that all children can learn. Regardless of the strengths, weaknesses and abilities each child brings with them, they will, indeed, learn. Our goal is to enable all children to be successful. We work hard to create an environment where all children feel like they belong.
