YOUNGSTOWN

The Potential Development Preschool is accepting applications for new students. The preschool is an early-childhood special-education center that focuses on working with children age 21/2 to 6 who have behavioral problems, developmental delays and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Students enrolled at Potential Development benefit from low teacher-to-student ratios, an extended school year that runs through the end of July, onsite speech and occupational therapy services, years of experience in working with children with special needs and weekly Gymsters classes.

The preschool program is licensed by the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services and participates in the Step Up to Quality program, a voluntary quality rating system for early care and education programs. The school is one of six preschools in Mahoning County to receive a four-star rating from SUTQ out of a possible five stars.
