Early Shells

“We believe in developing a child’s full potential for success in school and life by providing high quality early learning experiences both at school and through partnerships at home.”

Welcome to Early Shells!

What is Early SHELLs?

Early SHELLs is a preschool program for children ages 3 to 5 years old in the Roxana Community School District.  Students will go through a preschool screening to determine eligibility for the program.  

The Early SHELLs program strives to accomplish two main goals:

  1. Provide students with a positive learning experience in a developmentally appropriate program for children who range in age from 3 to 5 years old.  Classroom activities will be based on developmentally and age appropriate educational practices.  Children will be engaged in activities specially designed for his/her age, interests, and abilities.

  2. Provide parents with opportunities for growth as individuals and family members.
