  • Is Your Little One a Role Model?

    by
    NPS Application for Peer Models
    Newport Public Schools seeks children to serve as peer role models in our preschool classes.  Our     preschool classes are half-day with both morning and afternoon sessions.  The preschool calendar coincides with the Newport Public Schools calendar.  Enrollment is open to children of district residents. All children reside in the Newport Public Schools district.  The district’s preschool program is primarily designed for children with disabilities; however, typically developing children who enjoy a well-rounded, developmentally appropriate preschool class also may enroll to serve as language and role models for the students with disabilities.  Frequently, parents note that peer models also learn important life lessons on acceptance, tolerance, and perseverance from their classmates.  Peer role models attend free of charge.

    Newport’s preschool program is organized to facilitate children’s development in six major areas:  cognition, communication, self-help, motor skills, social and play skills and emotional development. NPS preschool is a  literacy-rich, language-based developmentally appropriate environment. Peer models should be at least 3 years old, toilet trained, and able to demonstrate age-appropriate communication, play, and socialization skills.  Children must pass our district's Child Outreach screening.  If you are interested in enrolling your child as a peer model, you may download an application below.
