Early Childhood
The Geauga County ESC Preschools offer services for children in all seven County School Districts using a curriculum that is aligned to Ohio's Early Learning Content Standards.   This curriculum allows teachers to prepare children for kindergarten using developmentally appropriate practices.   The framework for the curriculum is the Assessment, Evaluation, Programming, System (AEPS) and The Creative Curriculum, both are scientifically research based and supported by the Ohio Department of Education. 

Research has shown that quality preschool has a positive and long lasting impact on children.  We welcome you to visit the following links as they demonstrate the impact of preschool as well as the advances in early education.
