Dear San Marcos Unified Families,

Welcome to our Special Education Preschool Program!  It is our mission to provide a comprehensive and nurturing program that will encourage your child's emotional, social, physical, intellectual, behavioral, and pre-academic growth.  Our programs offer a variety of research-based interventions, developmentally-appropriate activities, and curriculum to guide instructional practices.  We support a hands-on learning approach which includes music, art, and outdoor activities as integral components to learning.

SMUSD greatly values parent input and collaboration. We look forward to sharing your child's preschool experience and working together as we embark on this journey. If at any point there are questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. Our staff is a responsive and dedicated group eager to address your concerns.

 Our team welcomes you!

 Sincerely,

 The San Marcos Unified Preschool Team
