Madison Early Childhood Center

Welcome to our school...

Madison Logo The Madison Early Childhood Center, a cooperative effort between the Boise School District's Early Childhood Special Education Program and Head Start, opened in the fall of 2004. Collaboration between the Boise School District and Head Start programs will help ensure that all children have the services they need to be successful in school.

Early Childhood Special Education classrooms in our school provide services to developmentally disabled preschool children between the ages of 3 and 5 and support to their families. Our goal is to better prepare our students for school and reduce the need for special education services once they begin kindergarten or first grade.

Madison's Head Start classroom provides comprehensive developmental services for low-income, pre-school children, focusing on education, socio-emotional development, physical and mental health, and nutrition.

The Center has morning and afternoon sessions in 4 Early Childhood Special Education classrooms and 2 Head Start classrooms. Classes are in session Tuesday - Friday.

Enrollment at Madison is by referral. Please visit our How to Apply page for further information.
