Children Having Options In a Continuum of Educational Services.

Early CHOICES  is an innovative program that offers special education and related services to three-year-old children with developmental delays, as well as to three and four-year-olds with speech delays.

The Delaware Early Childhood Center facilitates the early choices program for the Lake Forest school district, emphasizing an inclusive philosophy. Through effective collaboration with state agencies, community resources, and families, the program delivers early childhood special education and related services—such as referral screening, multi-disciplinary assessments, speech therapy, and behavior management—within familiar settings like homes or childcare facilities.

These services are provided at no cost to parents, in compliance with federal mandates ensuring free and appropriate public education for all children with disabilities aged three to twenty-one.

Under the guidance of Coordinators Chelsey Cubbage and Taylor Nelson, our dedicated team of teachers, therapists, and staff is available to offer necessary services or address any inquiries regarding your child's developmental or speech delays.

If you believe your child may qualify for the services offered by Early CHOICES, please do not hesitate to reach out to our office at (302) 398-8945 ext. 103
