Early Childhood Special Education – Napa Infant Preschool Program
The Napa Infant Preschool Program (NIPP) is an Early Childhood Special Education program that provides a variety of special education services to children from birth through five years, who are eligible under Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Our philosophy places an emphasis on the “whole” child, using a family focused approach that engages parents as active participants in their child’s education. Through cooperative community networking and a team approach to service delivery we provide experiences and environments that address how children learn; how families can promote learning; how children make and keep friends; how children become more independent; how children play; how children talk and listen; and how children feel about themselves.
