Adapted toys are just as fun!

Welcome to the Rondo Early Childhood Special Education Program (Rondo ECSE)!

This is an exciting place and we are glad to welcome you and your child into our program.  The following information should describe our program and make things run more smoothly this year.

The Rondo ECSE program has two distinct programs: The Parent/Infant program and the Classroom program. 

1. The Parent/Infant program is designed to provide services to you and your child in the home or daycare setting.  This program focus upon providing you as parents with the vital information you need to help your child proceed upon their developmental journey.  Michelle Dockter is the team leader for this program at Rondo.

2.  The Classroom program is designed to provide service to your child in a preschool classroom setting.  Your child's educational needs help us determine which program setting and the amount of service that is necessary to meet your child’s educational goals.  The team leaders for the Classroom program are Carolyn Buska and Anne Kelsey.  They serve two roles at Rondo, team leaders and classroom teachers.

3.  Classroom school hours are 9:45 to 12:15 for the AM session and 1:30 to 4:00 for the PM session.  Your child can ride the bus to school if you choose.  They may be required to use a car seat, harness or seat belt (depending on weight and safety) while riding the bus to and from school.  Call the transportation department with questions about the bus outside school hours.  Their number is (651) 696-9600.

4.  School office hours are from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.  All staff members at Rondo have a voice mail box and will respond to your questions.  Try to leave messages during school hours so staff can spend their time with your children during class hours.

As always I will be here to answer your questions or help direct you to the person who has the answer.  You can reach me at (651)325-2692.  Leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
