The Wayland Public Schools, through its Early Childhood Outreach Program, serves children ages 3 to 5, and their families, throughout the school year. The early childhood coordinator is available to meet and consult with parents regarding their children’s development. Recognizing and respecting the various individual styles and rates of development of young children, the early childhood coordinator assists parents in understanding their children’s development and in identifying any special educational needs that children might be experiencing.  If you are a Wayland resident and have concerns about your child’s speech and language, fine and gross motor skills, cognition, and social and emotional development, call Gretchen Lutz, early childhood coordinator, at 508-358-6818 to arrange a special education preschool screening. Ms. Lutz welcomes any questions and discussions with parents at any time during the school year, and assists in the transition of young children into kindergarten as well.
